Stiff pictorial wrappers, tan end papers decorated in green. Nice painted cover design, repeated on both covers. The end paper design is signed: "A.G.T."; the decorative title page design is by Garth Jones. Some chipping to spine, book splitting a bit, corners folded, a bit of edge wear, but an attractive copy. The first edition was published in London, 1904 (424pp.); and the first American edition was issued by Dodd, Mead, 1904 (378pp.). This Canadian edition does not confor m to either the British or American first in terms of number of pages, etc., so it is likely derived from a later British edition.
