Ships from the USA quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: An antiquarian hardcover first American edition Algernon Blackwood's The Extra Day explores the transcendent mysticism and pantheistic wonder of the Edwardian era. The narrative follows three children Judy Tim and Maria who guided by their whimsical Uncle Felix discover a hidden magical intercalary day where standard time ceases to exist. Within this temporal anomaly the natural world awakens into conscious supernatural vitality allowing the protagonists to experience the universe free from the constraints of adult routine and structured reality. Algernon Blackwood stands among the influential figures of early twentieth-century supernatural fiction actively bridging the transition from Victorian ghost stories to modern cosmic horror and nature mysticism. The novel serves as the concluding installment in a thematic spiritual trilogy that began with The Education of Uncle Paul and A Prisoner in Fairyland. Blackwood infuses the text with his own deeply held animistic beliefs challenging linear Western concepts of time and portraying nature as an immense conscious entity capable of interacting with the innocent human mind. Manufactured by The Macmillan Company in New York the physical volume features dark green cloth boards and a gold-stamped circular star border on the front cover. The lower right corner displays the gold-stamped initials A. U. signifying Author of Uncle Paul which serves as the primary bibliographical marker identifying this exact binding as the true first American printing. The copyright page explicitly states the September 1915 publication date solidifying its place as a verified primary source of Edwardian fantasy literature. The Macmillan Company hardcover
