Description
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. Very Good in Very Good- dj. (c.1935). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [solid copy, only light shelfwear but quite a bit of fading to cloth at edges and spine, slight soiling to bottom page edges; jacket edgeworn, with a few small tears, scuffing/rubbing to front panel, very faded at spine (although title, decoration, and publisher's name still stand out)]. The story of a henpecked husband who, for twenty years, "suffered the tortures of a shrill, petty and bullying wife" -- until one evening, he lost his memory! "The adventures which then befell him, his meeting with the healthy, jovial Minnie Guest, his success in business, and gradually the re-entrance of his wife into his life, are dramatically and skilfully related in one of the most successful stories of a dual personality since Stevenson's masterpiece [i.e., 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde']." The author was quite prolific, having published his first novel in 1911 (this was his forty-second book, per the jacket blurb); a significant portion of his early work was in the science-fiction, horror and ghost-story genres.
