Frontis black and white illustration. Pages are quite clean and unmarked, toned. Rough cut on fore edge and lower edge. Some of chapter first letters are illustrated. James Branch Cabell (1879- 1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction. Although escapist literature, his works are ironic and satirical. All of Cabell's works before 1930 were assembled into the grand "Biography of the Life of Manuel", the redeemer of the imaginary land of Poictesme. These are tales of Poictesme where chilvary and gallantry are alive and well; the series follows Manuel and his descendents. In this work, the author's name is truncated to distinguish it from the volumes that make up this Biography of the Life of Manuel. 253 pages. 5.6 x 8.25 inches. The Literary Guild, New York, 1932.
