FITZERSE, Alfred. The Trance of Fitzerse. London: The London Literary Society, n.d. [1888].
8vo. Half-title. (Spotting to titles and few terminal leaves). Original pebbled blue cloth framed in black, gilt-lettered spine (spine cocked and darkened, joints a bit rubbed).
FIRST EDITION, and only edition of this rare fantasy novel about time travel and the experiences of consuming a strong dose of hashish, reminisce to Fitz Hugh Ludlow’s account in The Hasheesh Eater published 20 years earlier. RARE: we could not locate any copies at auction and only 7 copies recorded. Not in Bleiler. A Horowitz high spot.
