Item Details
Born in Ireland, Ella Young became one of the most well-known experts on Irish and Celtic mythology in the world by the early 20th century. As a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, she expanded her expertise to other world legends and stories, and she engaged with many of the other well-known intellectuals and creators of the era, from Ansel Adams to Georgia O'Keeffe.
This book, The Unicorn with the Silver Shoes, became one of her most popular works, and it has been reprinted numerous times throughout the decades, and early versions are difficult to find. This particular copy is even rarer: it's a true first edition, published by Longmans, Green & Co. in 1932, and looks incredible despite its age as detailed in the Condition Description. It would be a fantastic addition to a fantasy collection focused on early entries in the genre, or one built around mythology and fairy tales.

When making purchases on eBay, don't just look at the price. Carefully consider the feedback sellers receive, particularly when they have received negative comments. I provide accurate descriptions, thorough packaging, and very fast shipping and handling. If something goes wrong, I'll do my best to fix the issue, so please contact me before leaving feedback. This is just some of the feedback I've received:
Feel free to contact me through eBay messages if you have any questions or would like more information about a particular listing. I clearly describe the condition of all items, including any defects or imperfections, and take multiple photos. Please carefully review the Condition Description and images when making a purchase, and take note of my policies:
Pricing | Most items I sell are set to Buy It Now, but priced reasonably based on the market and sometimes still open to negotiation. Please do not send overly low offers, as I often list my items similar to or lower than others. In most cases I simply will not respond. |
---|---|
Shipping | Every item is weighed beforehand and entered into eBay's automatic shipping calculator, which generates the shipping quote based on the provider, your location, the weight and (when applicable for larger items due to volumetric weight) the box size. In general I ship the same day or next day when purchases are made, and they're all assigned valid tracking numbers through eBay's system. All items are packaged carefully with sufficient protection to ensure they reach you safely. Any items that exceed $100 in value, excluding those in limited categories such as books and magazines, will be covered by additional insurance in the full sale amount at no cost to the buyer. |
Returns | Returns are accepted within 30 days following the date of purchase. In cases in which an item does not match the description or does not work as stated, a full refund will be issued, including the original and return shipping costs. However, in cases in which you wish to return an item for other reasons, or if an item was listed "as is" in the description, note that only the purchase cost will be refunded. The original shipping cost and the return shipping cost will be the responsibility of the buyer. |
