The Hound of Death.

£1,100 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

A collection of twelve stories, only ever published together thus in the UK, with this edition published by Odhams preceding that issued by Christie's normal publishers Collins. Many of the stories involve an element of the supernatural or paranormal, strikingly intimated by the suitably macabre dust-jacket design. First edition; 8vo (193 x 125 mm); publisher's burgundy cloth, a little faded on the spine and extremities, pictorial dust-jacket, mildly soiled and chipped at extremities, two closed tears to rear panel but still bright and very attractive.
