Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: None. First Edition. Arranged by Henry B. Fuller, who also provides introduction. n.p.

First edition, first printing. Illustrated by Frank A. Nankivell. Fine, a lovely fresh example, in rich, satin-finish chianti cloth with gilt script lettering and stunning illustrative device of the title character, done in gilt and cream; no dust jacket. A discreet owner bookplate to pastedown detracts not at all. Wild and witty pastiche of a Three Musketeers-style adventure novel, with lots of silly faux-Spanish and French; Nankivell's brilliant illustrations mischievously skewer the then voguish super-detailed pen-and ink style with a cartoonish irreverence.
