CAIRO DAWNS A STORY CYCLE WITH A PROEM

Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1931. Gilt lettered lavender cloth. Top edge and rear board a bit dust speckled, but a very good copy in pictorial dust jacket with faded spine, some dust spotting on verso, and a few short edge tears. First US edition of work published in the UK as THE CALENDS OF CAIRO. Two brief comments by Mitchell's friend, H. G. Wells, appear in the prelims, along with an Introduction by Leonard Huxley. This book occurs in at least two bindings, of which this is the form most likely to be primary; the other is cheap orange cloth lettered in black. BLEILER, p.141. NCBEL IV:588.
