The Mislaid Charm

Author Name:   Phillips, Alexander M.

Title:    The Mislaid Charm

Edition:   First Edition
Publisher:   Philadelphia Prime Press 1947
Illustrator:   Levit, Herschel

Seller ID:   404-4361

Very Good in a Fine dustjacket. Bound in full navy-blue cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt. Octavo. 92pps., with illustrations by Herschel Levit. There are modest touches of rubbing and soiling to the cloth and a previous owner's bookplate is affixed to the front pastedown, otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, is essentially as new; the original price is intact. The jacket is from the estate of William Crawford, publisher of Fantasy Press, and had been stored flat for decades -- until it had been recently married to this volume. A nice copy, beautifully jacketed.

"...Henry A. Pickett is a 'little' man. And like most of the little men of this world, he is perpetually confused by the vast, sprawling, incomprehensible civilization which is his unchosen environment, and with which he forever and choicelessly contends.
But pity poor Henry! Not only has he been flung, willynilly, into a mad world; he runs headlong into the creature most dreaded by a timid man -- a magnificent and commanding female. Every inch of Dorothy Guilford is vibrant with self-confidence and strength. Down upon Pickett sweeps this breathtaking vision like the fate that she is.
Even this daunting contretemps is dwarfed, however, when Pickett encounters the supernatural in the shape of a tribe of violently opinionated gnomes from upstate Pennsylvania, and becomes the unwitting repository of their tribal charm, and the object of a city-wide search on the part of the Miner Imps' Little Mob..."
