Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Near Fine dj. First Edition Thus. [sharp-looking copy, with no wear at all to book, and no internal markings; the jacket has the teensiest bit of surface wear (although you'll never notice it in its new mylar jacket cover)]. A new "augmented edition" of the author's only short-story collection, with tal…es ranging "from the idyllic to the macabre" -- mostly the latter, including the title story and the acknowledged classic "Whittington's Cat," about a young man tormented by a giant demonic feline. (The "augmentation" consists of a long Introduction about the author, by Christopher Roden, and the addition of two stories, "The Little Mermaid" and "No Ships Pass," that had not appeared in previous editions.) Although she lived only to the age of 43, Lady Smith racked up a lot of experience. Before she began turning out short fiction and the occasional novel in the early 1930s, she had already been a society reporter, a film critic and a circus publicist; she drew on all these careers to evoke, in her fiction, "the enchantment of the circus, the glamour of gypsydom, [and] the very spirit of the theatre." A number of her novels were adapted into British films in the 1930s and 1940s, and somehow she also found time to write a memoir of her travels, "Life's a Circus," published in 1939. The printing of this edition was limited to 500 copies. Illustrated by (dj painting) Paul Lowe (illustrator).
