BENSON EF.. E. F.
Across the stream.
London John Murray Albemarle Street W. 1919. Integral advertisement leaf at end; pp.vi314ii; lime green slightly rough-textured cloth lettered black on front cover and spine ruled black on spine. Very slight general wear to spine; front end-papers cracked at gutter showing tapes and muslin back end-papers slightly cracked; light embrowning and foxing to end-papers and some light scattered foxing passim more or less confined to margins; piece burned from lower margin of four leaves not approaching text; a very good copy only. Presentation copy with the author’s eight word holograph inscription on the front end-paper signed with his full name and dated June 29 1921. Presentation copies of Benson’s novels are uncommon especially with his full signature. Produced under the conditions of stringency following the first world war on poor quality paper and bound in a rather inferior cloth this is not a title calculated to survive well. This does not explain the four burned areas however which are mysterious. We are inclined to ascribe them to an evil spirit! With this novel Benson returned “to the admonitory mode of his earlier work in the story of the debasement of its protagonist through the influence of a demon that haunts him in the shape of his dead brother.†- Clute and Grant eds The Encyclopedia of Fantasy 1997 p.106; Bleiler The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 140; Wilson Shadows in the Attic p.68; Bleiler 1947 p.47 & 1978 p.20; Reginald 01122.
