Scarce 1928 Victor Gollancz hardback edition in sound condition, no dustjacket. Usual signs of age-related wear for a book of this vintage with tanned pages, light foxing, browned endpapers and missing back endpaper with back hinge guttering showing, otherwise binding is sound. Source novel for the Lon Chaney film directed by Tod Browning, creator of the controversial movie Freaks which was also based on a Tod Robbins tale.
