Carrington wrote of this bookplate in her diary, 20 March 1931, "As I stuck the book plates in with Lytton I suddenly thought of Sothebys and the book plates in some books I had looked at, when Lytton was bidding for a book and I thought: These books will one day be looked at by those gloomy faced booksellers and buyers.

Description:
Boston: John W. Luce & Company, 1919. First edition. Small octavo. Cloth and maroon boards stamped in gilt. First American edition, precedes British edition by two years. Spine a bit faded, small rub on upper panel, lower right, former owner's name and date on front free endpaper, else a very good or better copy without a dust jacket, but with the requisite watermark. Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany (1878-1957), was an Irish writer and dramatist, notable for his work, mostly in fantasy, published under the name Lord Dunsany. More than eighty books of his work were published, and his oeuvre includes many hundreds of published short stories, as well as successful plays, novels, and essays. The mystical city of Bethmoora, first mentioned in Dunsany's A Dreamer's Tales, was incorporated into The Cthulhu Mythos by H. P. Lovecraft. Dunsany also invented creatures, like gnoles and gibbelins, that are likely the models for the zoogs and ghasts of Lovecraft's Dreamlands.
