London: Andrew Melrose Ltd., 1919. From the Bart Auerbach Collection. 8vo. Original dark blue cloth. Slight discoloration to front cover, spine faded, some wear to spine ends. Item #409246
First edition. The dedication copy, inscribed on the front free endpaper: "To his friend Thomas Burke from the author Caradoc Evans, March 16, 1920." Burke is best known as the author of 'Limehouse Nights'. Evans was a popular Welsh writer of the early 20th century. Most of his books dealt with the Welsh people much as this one does: in a surprisingly unsympathetic fashion. As a contemporary reviewer put it, Evans was "the greatest satirist of his own people."
