pp. xiv, 80. Small 4to. Bound in woven olive-green cloth over boards, mustard-yellow endpapers. Illustrated colour frontispiece accompanied with seven additional striking full-page colour illustrations. Exceptionally well-preserved showing no flaws to the extremities, contents equally without blemish with clean and unmarked leaves and firm, sound binding; fine and housed in original near fine brown slipcase. One issue of the Heritage Club Sandglass neatly laid-in. Fine. On arriving at a rural monastery, the monk Ambrosius meets a young girl, Benedicta. She is shunned by the local community for being the daughter of the local hangman, but Ambrosius is drawn into a dangerous sympathy with her, and in defiance of the community and his superiors, he starts spending time alone with her. But when her virtue is corrupted by an impetuous young man, the stage is set for a battle between heart, mind, body, spirit, the sins of the past and redemption. Allegedly a rewriting from a lost German original, Ambrose Bierce's 1892 novel reads as a seamless, almost folktale-like masterpiece.
