FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [viii], 356, [12 adverts]. Vertically ribbed sage green cloth, spine and upper board lettered in gilt, decoratively blind-stamped.

Top edge gilt. Spine has wear and bruising to extremities, joints rubbed. Endpapers toned and foxed, but a good robust copy. The novel had been serialised in The Grand Magazine (March-Nov. 1913). Despite Wells later referring to it as "gawky," the novel went on to be adapted twice for the British screen, first, in 1922 by the Stoll Film Company and again in 1949 by David Lean.

Thanks for looking.
