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

Glossy b&w frontispiece by S. Schneider. Seventh volume in the eleven-book Frontier Boys series written under the Stratemeyer Syndicate house pseudonym Capt. Wyn Roosevelt. Ships from the USA quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Issued by The Platt & Peck Co. an antique hardcover volume in its original pre-WWI color pictorial dust jacket presents Capt. Wyn Roosevelt's 1909 juvenile adventure novel The Frontier Boys in Hawaii; or The Mystery of the Hollow Mountain. Serving as the seventh entry in the eleven-book Frontier Boys series the storyline follows brothers Jim Joe and Tom Darlington alongside their companion Juarez as they voyage aboard the ship Sea Eagle to the Hawaiian Islands. Upon arrival the group encounters perilous wildlife navigates uncharted volcanic caverns beneath hollow mountains and confronts organized criminal gangs threatening island residents. Originally published in 1909 by the A. L. Chatterton Company the Platt & Peck issue represents an early printing circa 1910 identified by the dust jacket rear panel advertisement listing Ralph Victor's ten-volume The Comrades series down to Comrades with the Winton Cadets. A glossy black-and-white frontispiece illustration by artist S. Schneider introduces the text which appeared under the house pseudonym Capt. Wyn Roosevelt created by Edward Stratemeyer for the Stratemeyer Syndicate. The Frontier Boys series reflects early twentieth-century American youth literature during a period of expanding Pacific travel and cultural interest following the 1898 annexation of Hawaii. Paper dust jackets produced on budget juvenile series between 1908 and 1912 suffered an extreme attrition rate as fragile paper wrappers were routinely discarded by contemporary readers making surviving jacketed copies increasingly uncommon.

1945Editions Littéraires de France, Paris, 1945. In/4 en feuilles, couverture rempliée sous chemise et étui cartonné de l’éditeur, 61 illustrations coloriées au pochoir de Guy Arnoux, 154 p. Un des 50 ex. avec une suite de hors-texte en couleur. Monod 2313. Guy Arnoux : 1886 - 1951, artiste, illustrateur et graphiste français. Il a illustré près de quatre-vingts livres dont plusieurs grands formats d'une remarquable qualité d'impression chez Devambez. À l'issue de la Guerre de 1914-18, il participe à de charmants petits livres pour les enfants. Entre 1912 et 1925 il collabore à la célèbre revue de mode La gazette du bon ton. Il s'est intéressé aux domaines les plus variés de l'art décoratif : décors pour les paquebots (dont le Lafayette en 1930), publicités, jeux, affiches, menus, programmes, costumes, éventails, foulards, et même des chaussures. Il laisse derrière lui un caractère d'imprimerie, intitulé Guy-Arnoux capitale, qu'il a réalisé en 1914 à la demande de Georges Peignot pour la Fonderie G. Peignot & Fils. Issu d'une famille de militaires, l'armée et le patriotisme constituent ses thèmes favoris. En 1921, il est nommé peintre officiel de la marine. Son trait est reconnaissable entre tous : un cerne noir et de larges aplats, très souvent réalisés au pochoir. Il est le représentant d'un nouvel art populaire, à la fois moderne et traditionnel. C'est sans doute le dernier grand imagier français.
