Golding's story was adapted later as a play and published as THE BRASS BUTTERFLY (1958). According the Berger (Science Fiction and the New Dark Age, pp. 196-8), Wyndham's "haunting" novella in which "the preventable is not prevented," is "the quintessence of dystopian fiction."

Octavo, pp. [i-iv] v [vi] 1-309 [310: printer's imprint] + 48-page publisher's catalogue dated "March 1901" inserted at rear, original decorated blue cloth, front and spine panels stamped in red and gold, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. First edition. Anthology of sensation fiction by H. D. Lowry, W. Clark Russell, W. E. Norris, Grant Allen, and others. Three of the eighteen stories are supernatural. "The First To Die," by Lowry, describes the laying of a curse by a persecuted unwed mother on the village where her son has been killed. "Selwyn's Utterton's Nemesis," by Allen, is another story about a curse, laid by a woman on her unfaithful husband, who has married her for her money, then tired of her and gradually killed her. "The Silver Snake," by Beatrice O'Connor, concerns a snake bracelet that kills a romantic rival (through either magic or advanced engineering -- the author leaves it ambiguous). The Grant Allen story does not seem to have appeared in any of his short story collections. Cloth worn and scuffed, stain on front paste-down where a label was removed, front free endpaper torn along gutter margin and nearly detached, a sound reading copy of an uncommon Victorian anthology. (#171503).

Octavo, pp. [1-7] 8-288, five illustrations, original pebbled gray cloth, spine titled and ruled in gold. First edition? Perhaps a later printing (circa 1880s?) of this collection of didactic adventure fiction probably intended for young readers. These stories were probably first published THE LEISURE HOUR, an illustrated penny-weekly paper which featured moralistic, self-improving serial novels, most of them published anonymously. Includes "Tale of a Detective," pp. 102-131, a crime story set in 1845. All the stories are presented anonymously, but "A Race for Life" is credited to the author of "Danesbury House" and "A Life Secret" [i.e. "A Life's Secret"], both works written by Ellen Price Wood (Mrs. Henry Wood). A popular book reprinted many times into the early twentieth century. Thirteen stories in all. "The Power of Music" tells two stories, one about Bach, another about Gluck. Hubin (1994), p. 24.
