Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Harrap, 1923.
First colour illustrated edition. 4to. Publisher's deluxe binding of brown roan with border of small gilt squares to the upper cover and gilt lettering and vignette on the spine. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Tipped in colour frontispiece and seven tipped in colour plates, as well as twenty-four tipped in full page black and white illustrations and numerous vignettes by Clarke.
