Marshall, Robert. The Haunted Major
Hopewell, NJ Ecco Press 1999 0880016698 / 9780880016698 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Harry Furniss
First printing. Green paper binding with silver spine titling. 192 pages. Introduction by John Updike. Black & white frontispiece and additional b&w illustrations. Book is clean, tight, unmarked. Dust jacket is fine, now in a clear archival cover. ~~ This edition marks the first time this charming sports classic, originally published in England in 1902 by Scotsman Robert Marshall, has been published in America, complete with the original edition's whimsical, "scratchy, suitably hectic drawings," as described by John Updike. (An edition published in the U.S. in 1960 by Ives Washburn, Inc. contained drawings by another illustrator, John Mackay.) ~~ Major the Honorable John William Wentworth Gore, self-described as the finest sportsman living, but a novice golfer, challenges a crack golfer to a game in order to win the hand of a beautiful millionairess in marriage. As he practices in secret, he is joined by a revengeful ghost of a Scottish cardinal who provides him with some bewitched golf clubs. The result is a "golf match of epic proportions between adversaries . . . an uproarious tale about human conceit and the supernatural." An attractive collectible copy.
