Luck of a Wandering Dane
Philadelphia: Matlack & Harvey, Printers, 1885. Very Good. Item #25394
Philadelphia: Matlack & Harvey, Printers, 1885. First Edition. Octavo. 130 pp. Black and white illustrations throughout. Black boards with spine lettered in gilt; tan endpapers; all edges stained red.
Mild edgewear and scuffing to boards and binding is sound. Bit of dampstaining along edges of endpapers, but interior unaffected and pages unmarked.
Scarce humorous and presumably fictionalized memoir by Lykkejaeger aka Andrew Smith, self described as "Soldier and Sailor, Moulder and Merchant, Tramp and Trader, Soap-boiler and Scribe..." No copies in retail at time of this writing and scarce in auction records.
