The fourth publication in the author's Sac Prairie Saga, chronicling life in a Wisconsin village from the mid-19th century onwards, a far cry from the call of Cthulu and the other inter-dimensional horrors that Derleth, co-founder of Arkham House, is also famously associated with. Signed and with two variant dust-jackets.

First edition, first printing, signed by the author on front free endpaper; 8vo; mild toning to text block extremities; publisher's cloth, a fine, sharp copy, with two variant dust-jackets, both priced $3 and with jacket artwork by Ronald Clyne, but with variant portraits of the author, one with superficial damage to lower panel, otherwise both very good.
