About This Item
England: Pennyffordd. Chester, UK ( later Ashcroft, BC ) : Ash Tree Press / AshTree, 1995, 1st Ash Tree Edition, First Printing, 1995. ------------( 1st printing of the First ATPress Edition ) ---hardcover, a Fine copy in a Fine dustjacket ---'My Dear Jane, You remember that you were puzzled when I told you I had heard something from the owls -or if not puzzled (for I know you have some experience of these things), you were at any rate anxious to know exactly how it happened. Perhaps the time has now come for you to be told. ---In this way, M.R. James began the letter which was to become The Five Jars, a beautifully told tale for children and adults alike. ---The Five Jars was first published by Edward Arnold in 1922 and has become a much sought-after rarity. This new edition of the story from Ash-Tree Press, the first printing of the story for many years, brought M.R. James's classic tale to a new generation of readers. ---As the story of The Five Jars unfolds, the reader joins M (or N) -for thus it is that James describes himself -as he discovers the magical jars. We read how he learns to make use of their contents and how he encounters 'The Right People'. We read, too, of the battles he has to fight to keep possession of his precious discovery -a discovery which opens the gateway to a mystical world of which we can only dream, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo ///NOT SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE /// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)---. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine (see description)/Fine (see description). Illus. by Anthony Maitland. 5.5w x 8.5h Inches. NOT Price Clipped .
