PORTER, Eleanor H. Keith’s Dark Tower. London: Constable. 1919. 8vo. First British edition. Publisher’s purple cloth lettered in white to the spine and upper board, in the dust jacket designed by J. A . Labrousse. An about very good copy. The cloth clean and bright, the tips just gently pushed. The binding tight and square, the contents slightly toned throughout from paper stock quality used, with ink ownership inscriptions behind the front flap, to half-title, and one to front endpaper struck through. Occasional toned areas, within. The dust jacket without a price, complete, with several closed tears, gently rubbed and nicked but very good.
The fifth adult novel by Porter, which captures the gradual loss of sight in a fourteen-year-old boy. Published in the US under the title Dawn in the same year. Porter is remembered almost exclusively as a children’s author, and particularly as the creator of the highly popular Pollyanna series of books published from 1913.
