About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1930. Limited Edition. Tall Octavo. Limited to 850 copies. The present copy is number 904. Mansfield destroyed more than 3/4 of her manuscripts. She kept only those she attached importance to, especially for future works. The greater part of the Aloe, after much reshaping was incorporated into Prelude in 1917. But, the Aloe contains much material that was not used as readers familiar with Prelude will quickly discover. A fine bright copy bound in dark gray-green paper covered boards, paper spine label, in plain dust jacket with small chip to lower edge of front panel and head of spine, housed in publisher's slipcase with paper label. Only minor wear to slip case.
