Atherton, Gertrude. The Bell in The Fog, and Other Stories.
London: Macmillan, 1905.
First edition. 8vo. 380pp. + 16pp. ads. Publisher’s deep red cloth, titled in gilt to spine and front board, decorated in blind. Minor darkening here and there, and a spot or two of scuffing, a very good copy indeed. Internally clean, from the collection of Richard Dalby with his index card laid in. Atherton is an amazing writer, and The Striding Place, included here (along with The Bell In The Fog, and The Dead and The Countess) needs to be recognised as being an absolutely spectacular story. Scarce, unsurprisingly.
