    by Robert W. Chambers ...

This edition binds 58 plates of painting with the text, among them works by Nicholas Roerich, Vasily Vereshchagin and Miner Kilbourne Kellogg, dating from 1845 to 1927. ... Read more

  • The Laughing Girl

    An American in a Swiss Chalet After the War

    by Robert W. Chambers ...
    Two Americans inherit a Swiss chalet with a housekeeper, a cow and a pair of Bolshevik agents in the neighbourhood, in wartime Switzerland. Chambers wrote it in 1918 as a farce and let the politics stay just visible behind the comedy. The joke is that everyone in the house is pretending to be someone else and only the cook is telling the truth. Fifty-eight plates of Swiss lakes, Alps and market ... Read more

    An American Abroad on the Eve of the Great War

    by Robert W. Chambers ...
    An American engineer in France in 1914 is drawn into the counter-espionage of the first weeks of the war by a girl whose loyalty he cannot establish. Robert Chambers wrote fast and elegantly and had a genuine eye for the moment when a country changes. The book is a romance built on a real anxiety, and the crowd scenes in Paris are the best of it. Thirty paintings from the century around it, by ... Read more

    The Mohawk Valley in the Revolution

    by Robert W. Chambers ...
    The Mohawk valley in 1777, a family divided between crown and congress, and Burgoyne's army coming down from the north.

    by Robert W. Chambers ...

Brendekilde and František Meissl, plus one restored colour illustration. ... Read more

  • The King in Yellow

    Tales of a Play That Maddens Its Readers

    by Robert W. Chambers ...
    A play in two acts circulates through Europe; those who finish reading it go mad. Chambers gathered his linked tales around that idea in 1895, invented the Yellow Sign, borrowed lost Carcosa from Ambrose Bierce, and then — having built the vocabulary that Lovecraft and half of modern horror would borrow — turned to writing romances for the rest of his life. The first four stories are why the book ... Read more

    An Inventor of Machines for Finding Love

    by Robert W. Chambers ...
    An inventor builds a machine that detects the affinity between two people and sets it loose on a family of marriageable daughters, with the results one would expect and a few one would not. Chambers wrote sixty-odd books and made a fortune from light society comedy; this is that vein at its most cheerful. Sixty plates of moonlit harbors, harvest moons, and quiet water by Fitz Henry Lane and ... Read more

  • The Streets of Ascalon

    Episodes in the Unfinished Career of Richard Quarren, Esqre.

    by Robert W. Chambers ...
    New York society in the last years before the war, a man with money and no occupation, and a woman who will not be kept. Chambers called them episodes rather than chapters and the book moves like a set of magazine instalments, which is what it was. This edition adds thirty-seven plates after Hunt, Mondrian, Pankiewicz and Richir, and twenty-two illustrations restored and coloured. ... Read more
