191124695London: Methuen & Co. Ltd. Good. 1911. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket solid copy moderately shelfworn dust-darkening to top of text block slight fading to spine cloth a couple of small tears in cloth at top of spine. One of the more uncommon short-story collections by this prolific author containing twenty-one tales in all including several of a semi-fantastical or macabre nature such as "Post-Mortem" about a depressed poet who plots to fake his suicide and assume a new identity. Although he's occasionally cited as an influence on H.P. Lovecraft he seems to have more often written in a lighter somewhat de Maupassantian vein he even mentions de Maupassant in passing in one story; one contemporary critic cited his "luminous insight into human character seved by a sympathetic and painstaking hand." .

1904115620Boston: Dana Estes & Company Publishers 1904. Octavo pp. 1-10 1-2 3-199 200-202: blank note: last leaf is a blank seven full-page illustrations by Wallace Goldsmith original cloth-backed pictorial boards printed in red and black. First U.S. edition. First of five books in the Eliza series. "These comic writings by Pain are still genuinely funny and were reprinted not long ago in an omnibus volume. They are narrated by an office worker who is hanging on by his teeth to a lower rung of the middle class. His misadventures in London in the suburbs and on holiday are deliciously funny for the way he gives himself away as a ridiculous yet pathetic figure who is always trying to live beyond his slender means -- financial intellectual and moral. Eliza is his wife an eminently sensible and long-suffering woman whose virtues are lost on her husband. The faint undertone of desperation gives the comedy some bite. Just as readable and impressive as his horror fiction." - Robert Eldridge. NCBEL IV 698. Binding rubbed at edges mainly corner tips a very good copy. #115620 Dana Estes & Company Publishers unknown books
