Old Valentines, A Love Story. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1914.
First Edition. Griswold Tyng dustjacket art and illustrations. Contemporary review states: "Many readers of current fiction must be so tired of the problem novel that they will turn with a sigh of relief to this old fashioned love story. The persons in the book actually behave like ladies and gentlemen, the plot does not hinge upon a violation of the Sixth Commandment and the dialogue is bright decorous. All the characters - the grumpy baronet, the heiress, the penurious poet and the faithful nurse, have met of course a hundred times before but it is pleasant greet them again." Uncommon. Near Fine in Good dustjacket, shallow edge chips and wear, lower spine end with inch deep chip.
