Edition originale
Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5 [6-8] 7-427 [428] [429-432: ads] [note: preliminaries mis-paged], five inserted plates with illustrations by Clare Angell (including a color frontispiece), title page printed in red, brown and black, publisher's pictorial burgundy cloth, front panel stamped in white, black and gold, spine panel stamped in gold and white. First U.S. edition, later issue with cancel title leaf with the Fenno imprint. Lost race adventure novel of the discovery of the Acans in the interior of Northern Australia. "Despite the ludicrous plot the first part of FUGITIVE ANNE, in which Anne is making her way across the countryside, is interesting. Mrs. Praed grew-up in a bush station, and her knowledge of the landscape and native life, which she conveys well, can be fascinating. As a result part of the book has a secondary appeal of an Upfield novel, Australia in the primitive days." - Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1814. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 178. Bleiler (1978), p. 160. Reginald 11863. Not in Larnach. White enamel decoration on spine panel perished, binding extremities worn, hairline crack along inner front hinge, text block a bit shaken, a good copy. (#17241).

A New Edition, in yellowback format. 336 pages + 2 of ads and a 32-page publisher's catalogue dated March 1896. The book is reasonably firmly bound in the original illustrated boards, which are somewhat, chipped, rubbed, grubby and bumped, with the webbing exposed at the hinges. The text block is quite age toned, foxed and dusty with cracking at points, there is a small hole to the title page and the rear illustrated advertising panel featuring Marie Antoinette on the eve of her execution has at some point slightly adhered and partially transferred to the final page of text. A beautiful, passionate, mysterious young woman arrives from Australia and takes London society by storm, determined to be revenged upon men. A novel that explores the nature of sexual and romantic relationships and society's perception and judgement of women, with discussions of the nature and purpose of art and occasional references to matters occult. Published two years after the 3 volume first edition, this cheaply produced one volume yellowback edition is quite a rarity, both commercially and in institutional holdings.

Reprint, in yellowback format. 319 pages. Formerly the property of "The Drum Library" in Eastbourne with several stamps proclaiming this. The book is reasonably securely bound in the original illustrated glazed boards, which are quite heavily rubbed, marked and bumped, with the webbing showing at the hinges and some chipping to the board edges. The text block is slightly toned, foxed, marked and dusty, with cracking at points and a few dog-eared page corners, in addition to the aforementioned stamps. A heavily worn copy of an early edition, published a year after the first. A novel that deals extensively and seriously with occult themes, indicative of Rosa Praed's growing interest in theosophical matters at this time. The yellowback edition is rare in commerce.

Reprint, Tenth thousand, in yellowback format. 304 pages. Undated but circa 1892. The book is reasonably firmly bound in the original illustrated glazed boards, the lower third of the spine strip has been lost and another section is looking vulnerable, otherwise the boards are slightly chipped, rubbed, marked and bumped. The text block is slightly toned, foxed and dusty, there is cracking at points, some gatherings are protruding slightly, a few page corners are dog-eared and there is a neatly written name to the half title page. One of Rosa Praed's more obviously autobiographical novels(see Prefatory Note), dealing with her early married life on an Australian cattle station. The 2 volume first edition is quite plentifully represented in institutional holdings and there have been recent paperback reissues, but this early one volume yellowback edition is quite rare.

Livre Edition originale
First edition. Two volumes, 199 and 208 pages respectively. Formerly the property of politician and artist, Sir William Morton Eden, with his bookplate to the front pastedowns of both volumes, his ownership inscription to the half-title page of volume I, indicating that he acquired the novel in January 1883, and his signature to the second blank in volume II. The books are firmly bound in contemporary hard-wearing green cloth, with gilt lettered leather spine labels, gilt top-edges to the text blocks and floral endpapers. The boards are slightly marked, bumped, rubbed and bowed. The text blocks are slightly toned, lightly foxed and marked, with some dog-eared corners, minor loss to a few carelessly opened page edges and the light pencil notes and sporadic annotations of a former owner. There is a printer's error to the whole of gathering H in the first volume, the text is complete but the pages are printed in entirely the wrong order. "She bewitched him to a greater degree, yet not quite in her former fashion. The fascination was more unwholesome; it excited him and yet deepened his melancholy". Possibly now best known for her novels set in Australia, at the time this proved to be Praed's most successful work to date, a novel of sensation, sensuality and the supernatural, written at great speed and with the prose retaining a breathless intensity. Rejected by her then publisher, Bentley, due to Nadine being "unwholesome" and "rotten to the core", it was quickly taken up by Chapman & Hall, who presumably recognised the public's appetite for unwholesome subjects. Rare in commerce and not all that plentifully represented in library holdings, this copy with some interesting provenance.
