Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5-384, flyleaves at front and rear, numerous illustrations in text by Arthur B. Frost, original decorated green cloth, front panel stamped in black, spine panel stamped in black and gold, and rear panel stamped in blind, brown coated endpapers. First edition. Although called a "novel," this is a collection of humorous linked stories featuring the inhabitants of a small Eastern hillside town called Millburg. It is a followup to OUT OF THE HURLY BURLY; OR, LIFE IN AN ODD CORNER (1874), Clark's phenomenally successful first book. Some of the stories here are mildly fantastic, about wacky inventions that go awry or faddish pursuits that do likewise, including an attempt to mesmerize a baby. Much of the humor, a notoriously perishable commodity, is still fresh, with something of the mordant bemused stance of Twain. Together with the illustrations by the celebrated Frost, an amusing book. Wright (III) 1050. Cloth rubbed at spine ends and corner tips, a very good copy. (#116255).

Leather. Etat : Good. Arthur B Frost (illustrateur). First edition. A first edition of the humorous novel from the American Charles Heber Clark, written under the pseudonym Max Adeler. Clark was born in 1841 in Berlin, Maryland, to an abolitionist clergyman who was quickly unwelcome in the Southern States. In the civil war Clark enlisted in the Union army and served for two years until the conclusion of the conflict. He then became a journalist and then editor, becoming independently wealthy through investments. He wrote all of his humorous books under a pseudonym, and in fact disliked that his fame was based upon them. He also had a dispute with mark Twain, whom he accused of plagiarising his 1880 novelette 'Fortunate Island'. This copy contains a contemporary hand drawn sketch to the front blank. The edition is illustrated by Arthur B. Frost. In half morocco with marbled boards. Externally smart with light shelf wear. Internally, with a contemporary sketch in pencil to a front blank. With a contemporary signature in pencil to the title page. A little foxed, particularly to the first and last few pages as usual. Firmly bound. Good. book.

Frost and others, original decorated pebbled mustard cloth, front and spine panels stamped in brown and gold. First U.S. edition. Collects five stories, "Professor Baffin's Adventures" (retitled "The Fortunate Island"), "The City of Burlesque," "An Old Fogey," "Major Dunwoody's Leg" and "Jinnie." Bleiler comments that "The Fortunate Island" is an "excellent lost race science-fiction story . which offers a foretaste of Mark Twain's A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT." The five stories along with a play were collected in AN OLD FOGEY AND OTHER STORIES published in 1881 by Ward, Lock, & Co. The title story first appeared in BEETON'S CHRISTMAS ANNUAL, 21st SEASON, as part of a linked story series (a Christmas Annual tradition) whose collective title was THE FORTUNATE ISLAND, Adeler's contribution being titled "Professor's Baffin's Adventure." Why he appropriated the series title is unclear. Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 2-1. Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 3.
