WHERE IS YOUR HUSBAND? AND OTHER BROWN STUDIES by George Frost [pseudonym]

London: Thomas Burleigh, 1901. Octavo, original green cloth. First edition. Briefly inscribed by "the Authoress" on the front free endpaper. Material reprinted from THE LEEDS MERCURY -- informal essays and brief discursive stories, enlivened with an easy-going wit. The personification of Conscience in "A Year's Reading" and of a greeting card in "A Christmas Card" qualify the book -- just barely -- as fantasy. Not in Sadleir or Wolff. Cloth rubbed and scuffed at edges and along spine panel, else a very good copy. (#115807) (Inventory #: 115807)
