Hardcover. Condición: Very good. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. This 1897 first edition, in a brightly decorated binding designed by the great Margaret Armstrong, celebrates the work of Frank R. Stockton (1834-1902), subversive humorist and writer of both fairy-tales and science fiction, best known for his classroom staple, the fable "The Lady, or the Tiger?" Illustrated throughout in 16 plates by Peter Newell, W. T. Smedley, Frank O. Small, Alice Barber Stephens, and E. W. Kemble, the "Story-teller's Pack" holds among its contents: "The Magic Egg," in which a magician's betrothed investigates his use of a wish-granting egg to hypnotize his audiences; "The Widow's Cruise," chronicling "the very successful endeavor of a good woman, not only to rise to the level of the male maritime yarn, but to soar above it, and to look with pardonable contempt upon certain persons of the contrary sex, who had under-estimated her"; and the supernatural mystery "The Bishop's Ghost and the Printer's Baby," inspired by the crumbling tomb of Chaucer in Westminster Abbey. 7 3/4" X 5 1/4". viii, 380pp. Binding designed by Margaret Armstrong, with her monogram to upper board.
