First edition. *'Few families can boast that Shakespeare purloined details of The Tempest from an ancestor's unpublished manuscript. Its author was a certain William Strachey, one of the very first merchant venturers to set foot in America, and shipwrecked on Bermuda in 1606. William was only one of many Strachey adventurers whose history can be traced back over five centuries .... yet today the Stracheys are chiefly remembered for Lytton and his connection with Bloomsbury' [wrapper blurb].
