A new edition, reissued with a new title; the collection was originally published as 'Zeph and Other Stories'.

CONDITION
In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally generally smart; boards are a little rubbed, with some slight bumping to the extremities, and the spine has the odd tidemark. Front pastedown and endpaper are also affected by a tidemark to the edges. Internally, generally firmly bound; binding is slightly strained to the first page. Pages are a little age-toned, the publisher's advertisements in particular, and with the odd spot.
Overall Condition: Good
