Second edition. 8vo., later full buckram. London, James Nisbet, 1901.
Inscribed by the author: "To Marie Tempest, from Anthony Hope, with a friend's greeting and goodwill. Xmas, 1901". In 1900 Tempest had appeared as Nell Gwynne in English Nell, a dramatisation of Hawkins' book, Simon Dale. Hope recalled: "Thus was begun, not only a long and pleasant friendship, but also her career on the legitimate stage, of which she has proved an ornament so great and indeed, in her own line, unrivalled." The first edition was reprinted from The Westminster Gazette in 1894. An excellent copy.
