SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. TRUE FIRST EDITION Leatherette Book in excellent condition; covered in Forest Green Leatherette; Marble green endpapers; has Catalog 1 with 12 Titles listed in front; Spine 1; Gold BL Logo on front with title and author on spine also in gold; previous owner's name "Harold M. Lord" very neatly written in Free Front Endpaper along with his embossed name and address (barely noticeable). 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 2258
