Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
A fine edition of this fantasy novel from American editor, author and writer Abraham Merritt. Merritt's novel follows archaeologist John Kenton as he intervenes in an eternal conflict between the deities 'Ishtar' and 'Nergal', who have each possessed the body of a human priest.
Originally published in the Argosy in six instalments between November and December 1924, this edition was printed by the publisher in order to 'make available again some of the best books by the best authors of our time [...] that have been unobtainable in recent years'.
