Approx. 9" x 6" x 2" 263 pp. Synopsis (from Preface): Series of short stories interwoven in novel form, "the Story-Teller's Holiday may be described as a dialogue between the original and the acquired self."... "With these echoes from the Renaissance" -- being a work somewhat in the style of, and very much an homage to, such classics as Boccaccio's Decameron, Queen Margaret's Heptameron, and Balzac's Contes Drolatiques -- Moore's Story-Teller's Holiday "does not challenge comparison; its faults and its merits are part of its originality. The stories are spontaneous inventions, with here and there an oddment of folk lore, and in the rich Anglo-Irish idiom they carry a fragrance of newly-upturned earth." CONDITION is FINE, no dust jacket. Binding very sound and square. Plain black boards evince only light scuffing; ornately printed spine bears gilt titles, slightly rubbed but still distinct. Book is completely unmarked within; no names, nameplates or other markings whatsoever. Pages age-toned but pristine: crisp, undiminished and absent any evident damage. Outside of normal and unavoidable signs of its age, volume is in nearly "like new" condition, easily Fine, perhaps a little better.
