Falkner, J. Meade. The Lost Stradivarius.

Edinburgh: Blackwood and sons, n.d..
First Blackwoods Colonial Library edition (”For circulation in India and the British Colonies Only”). 8vo. 296 pages. Publisher’s light brown card wraps. Minor soiling and edgewear, tight and surprisingly sturdy, a very good copy. Internally clean, bookseller stamp and ink ownership to half title (denoting the "colony" in question to be Australia), one page somewhat unevenly opened. A sharp and clean copy of an excellent, not to say meticulously written tale of supernatural unease by a masterful, and underrated author. Scarce.
