Green Cloth Hardback. Zustand: Good - See Description. First Edition. 1905. First edition. viii, 356pp. plus a 38 page catalogue dated September 1905. Arthur George Morrison (1863-1945) was an English writer and journalist known for realistic novels and for stories about working-class life in the East End of London. He also wrote detective stories featuring a specific detective, Martin Hewitt. "Divers Vanities" is a collection of seventeen of Morrison's best short stories. Among them, one can find a ghost story (The Legend of Lapwater Hall), tales of witchcraft such as The Black Badger and The Torn Heart, and detective stories with a shadow supernatural in the plot. The book appears to have been recased in slightly later green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in good to very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling and light staining on the boards. The spine is slighlt faded and the spine ends are bumped with some damage to the cloth. The contents are tight and the pages are clean apart from a few small marks and some pencil underlining or lines drawn on the margin of a few pages. The half-title page and title-page are fairly heavily foxed and the following few pages are moderately foxed. There is also scattered but lighter foxing elsewhere within the book. The fore edge of the text block is moderately foxed and on some pages this has seeped a little way into the fore margin. The front free endpaper has been removed and there are traces of an erased pencil inscription on the front fixed endpaper.
