Product Description

Publishee in USA as 'The Touchstone' and about six months later in England as A GIFT FROM THE GRAVE, because the American title had already been used by another English author.
The short novel showed the influence of Henry James both in its form as a novelette and in its occupation with ethical values.
It is concerned with a man torn between his desire to obtain money to marry the woman he loves, and his reluctance to sell the love letters written to him by a celebrated woman.
Clean sound vg copy rebound in pinkish grained cloth lettered gilt on spine with a dark green leather label, attractively done.
Sl rubbing at spine ends else very good with clean text.
Neat contemporary book label of Gwendolen and Dorothy Jefferson on pastedown.
Very good.
