Morrow, W C ; Color Plates By Maynard Dixon
Lentala Of The South Seas: The Romantic Tale Of A Lost Colony
New York: Frederick A. Stokes 1908. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine. V 278 P. Light Green Cloth Stamped In Green And Black With A Paste-On Cover Illustration. First Printing With 'September 1908" On Copyright Page. Near Fine Slight Browning To Spine Cloth. Inscribed Personally By Morrow To Mrs. S. M. Butler And Dated In San Francisco In December 1908. William Chambers Morrow 1854-1923 Was An American Writer Now Noted Mainly For His Short Stories Of Horror And Suspense. He Is Probably Best Known For The Much-Anthologised Story "His Unconquerable Enemy" 1889 About The Implacable Revenge Of A Servant Whose Limbs Have Been Amputated On The Orders Of A Cruel Rajah. Morrow Moved West To California In 1879 And Began Selling Stories To The Argonaut Where Ambrose Bierce Was Just Terminating A Two-Year Period Of Employment. Bierce Was An Enthusiast Of Morrow's Stories In One Of His Squibs A Nervous Reader Declares "I Have One Of Will Morrow's Tales In My Pocket But I Don't Dare To Go Where There Is Light Enough To Read It" And In 1887 Probably Recommended William Randolph Hearst To Approach Morrow For Material For The San Francisco Examiner. Several Of Morrow's Most Notable Tales Appeared In This Newspaper. His First Novel Blood-Money 1882 About The Mussel Slough Tragedy Was An Indictment Of The Conduct Of California Railroad Companies Which Were Forcing Settlers Off Their Land. It Gained Little Attention And In Fact Morrow Took A Position In The Public Relations Department Of The Southern Pacific Railroad . His Stories Were Collected In The Ape The Idiot And Other People In 1897 But He Published Few Stories Thereafter. By 1899 Morrow Had Begun A School For Writers And In 1901 He Produced A Pamphlet The Art Of Writing For Publication. Bierce Commented That: "It Is A Pity Morrow Teaches Others To Write Badly Instead Of Himself Writing Well. But I Fancy We Have No Grievance Therein Or If We Have It Is Against The Pig Public Not Against Morrow. He Would Write Books Doubtless If He Could Afford To As I Would Do. Morrow Published Two Romantic Adventure Novels A Man; His Mark 1900 And Lentala Of The South Seas 1908 An Apparently Journalistic Work Called Bohemian Paris Of Today From "Notes By Edouard Cucuel" And A Short Travel Booklet Roads Around Paso Robles 1904. A Critical Essay On Morrow's Work Can Be Found In S. T. Joshi's Book The Evolution Of The Weird Tale 2004 From Which The Above Information Is Taken. See Wikipedia. <br/> <br/> Frederick A.
