First Edition (first printing). 8vo. [vii], 112pp. Cloth-backed paper-covered boards, lettered in silver and blue at the spine. A virtually fine copy in virtually fine non-price-clipped dust wrapper, marred only by a trace of dust soiling. Five stories penned in the 1940s by the award-winning and somewhat tragic Chilean author, celebrated as one of the most innovative stylists of Latin American literature. Bar her second novel, 'The House of Mist', which she wrote in English, this collection is one of the very first English-language translations of her work.
