Wessex Tales
Macmillan, 1888.
First edition. Two volumes. Original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine and light green ruled design to the covers. A near fine set, clean and crisp with a few light marks to the upper covers. Internally fresh. Housed in chemises and quarter morocco slipcases.
A collection of five stories, slightly revised from the previous serial appearances. The first edition is uncommon, particularly in such nice condition. 750 sets of sheets were printed but only 634 of them were bound up for the first edition.
