About This Item
London: Longmans, Green & Co, 1926. First British edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Wilder's first book, which the London Observer described as, "the best-written thing of its kind for many years (Nov. 28, 1926). The Brooklyn Eagle, on the other hand, wrote, "The Cabala is luxurious in its unimportance, its indifference, and its astonishing charm." First UK edition (1926 date on title page and no notice of later printings inside). A near fine copy in a price-clipped else near fine, second issue dust jacket. There is some discoloration to the endpapers, but pretty typical of British books. This second issue jacket was redesigned to match the jacket of The Bridge of San Luis Rey, which is promoted on the front flap of this copy.
