"An amusing couple of hours can be spent in the reading of this fantastic trifle. Vivian Darsay, a young man of great physical beauty and financial prospects, has been hit on the temple by a cricket ball, and the blow has caused temporary aphasia coupled with the inability to express himself in writing and to understand written, printed and spoken language..." (The Bookman, vol.XLIV, 1913) Scarce to find in a dust-jacket. First edition, 8vo; a little light spotting, publisher's cloth, very good, dust-jacket, chipped with minor loss to some corners, otherwise very good.
