About This Item
Sauk City: Arkham House, 1950. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/very good. 1st edition. Fine in a very good dust jacket with toning to the spine rubbing and wear to the extremities. One of the smallest publications of any Arkham House book at 553 copies, Drake self-financed the printing and took 300 copies for her own distribution. This is Drakes first book, but she was already well known from the mid 30s as one of the more popular poets of the horror and fantasy genre, regularly appearing in Weird Tales.
They named It the Jabberwock
For want of another;
But some shook their heads; "It's
The Devil's own brother!"
Then people came to church
Who'd never been yet.
Some patched up a quarrel
And some paid a debt.
-The Jabberwock.
