Item specifics

Seller Notes: “Scarce Victorian "Future War" novel, from the bibliographer George Locke's collection. This ... “Scarce Victorian "Future War" novel, from the bibliographer George Locke's collection. This extraordinary novel is set in a Near Future in which a successful East Anglian businessman successfully lobbies for a United Europe, fakes his own death, and re-emerges as "Marmaduke, Emperor of Europe". The book was published anonymously, under the pen name "X". This copy is nicely signed by the author, Frank Attfield Fawkes, a businessman who published works mainly on non-fiction topics. This is his only Science Fiction novel. Original publishers gilt cloth hardback binding. Original end papers. Frontispiece with tissue guard. 271 pages plus 1-page publisher's advert to rear. The book is externally in very attractive condition, with light wear to the edges with some fading to the spine (see pictures). Internally clean and bright with some very light toning to leaves. Binding sound and square. A very nice example. Signed examples appear to be rare; we have never seen another.”
