KNOX, E. V., FRASER, Eric. Here's Misery
Here’s Misery: a Book of Burlesques. E. V. Knox (Evoe). 1928. London: Methuen. 8vo. Illustrated by Eric Fraser. First edition, first printing. Red cloth with gilt lettering to spine panel and blindstamped lettering to front board, in the original dust jacket. An attractive example of the inimitable author’s latest parodic tales. Knox wrote for and edited Punch magazine. Knox was brother of the Roman Catholic priest, Ronald Knox. His daughter was the author Penelope Fitzgerald, and his second wife was Mary Shepard, illustrator of Mary Poppins and daughter of E. H. Shepard. A very good or better book with the boards just a trifle bumped. The binding is tight and square, the contents usually fine but for a little offsetting. The original dust jacket is very good, with a few chips and nicks to most corners and spine tips, and a handful of small closed tears and bumps to edges. An attractive copy nonetheless with the amusing, charming illustrators by Fraser.
