SEDGWICK, S. N. Caliban Island [BIBLIO-MYSTERY]. London: Books Limited, [1921].

First Edition. Very scarce biblio mystery missed by Hubin (and lost civilization fantasy missed by Bleiler). "The remarkable adventures of an English boy, kidnapped at the beginning of the War, and taken to an islet in the Greek Archipelago. His story centers round the discovery of a Quarto Edition of Shakespeare's Tempest, the most interesting literary find of the century - within which are concealed the clues to a hidden treasure. Contrary to all the accepted traditions, Shakespeare's uninhabited island turns out to be in the Mediterranean, and to be still in the possession of descendants of the original Prospero, served like their ancestor by a Caliban. It falls to the Boy-hero to assist in unraveling the cipher, and in delivering the island and its owners from the domination of the enemy". Near Fine in Very Good dustjacket.
