CHESTERTON, G. K. (1874-1936). The Man Who Knew Too Much. New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1922.
8vo. Illustrated frontispiece by W. Hatherell. Original burgundy cloth, front board and spine stamped in green (spine a bit toned, rubbed); original dust jacket (spine sunned, upper edge of jacket chipped with some tears, some scuffing, soiling to jacket).
FIRST AMERICAN EDITION in the rare dust jacket. This collection of mystery stories features the gentleman detective Horne Fisher; these stories are not related to the films directed by Alfred Hitchcock (he had the film rights to the Chesterton stories, so he used the title for his films).
