Miss Mackerel Skye

Descripción

Miss Mackerell Skye: a fairy tale for young and old. Herbert S. Squance. With illustrations by A. D. McCormick. London: T. Fisher Unwin. 1894. 8vo. First edition. The first and only edition of presumably Herbert Salisbury Squance s only work, a fairy tale with excellent illustrations by McCormick. Squance was a chartered accountant according to censuses and thus writing must have been a pastime taken up freely. This copy inscribed by the author in 1918 to Mary Drummond, an author herself. Squander died in 1922, aged 55. A near fine volume, the red pictorial cloth bright and colourful, the spine a trifle faded. The binding tight and square, the contents usually fine with some toning and occasional marks, but all four plates present and clean. Inscription from the author to front endpaper. An excellent, well-preserved example. Scarce, but especially so in this condition and with the inscription. N° de ref. del artículo 404184
