SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. VERY RARE SURVIVING TRUE FIRST COPY. BOOK: In excellent condition has CI table of 12 Titles at front, which makes it a May 1917 first edition; Dark Brown Leatherette with dark brown marble endpapers (1917-19); brown topstain; light wear on top and bottom spine edges. NO DJ. STORY: Maeterlinck s small gem is decidedly different in being a comedy. As nephews Gustavus and Achilles hold a funeral dinner for their dead Aunt Hortensia, a ragged stranger convinces the maid Virginia that he is Saint Antony of Padua (1195-1213) sent by God to resurrect the dead woman. For the nephews who had counted on their wealthy aunt s inheritance, this is not such welcome news. On a smaller scale rich with irony and humour, Maeterlinck portrays the old question whether humanity would not recrucify Christ should he return. N° de ref. del artículo 1201
