R. W. KETTON-CREMER. — The Phantom Duel. An essay.

Privately printed for private circulation in December 1956 by Rounce & Wortley, North Walsham and Holt., 1st Edition, First Edition (first printing). Slim 8vo. 20pp. stapled into lettered blue card wrappers. The staples rusted and the wrappers fractionally marked. Neat name plate of National Trust libraries adviser John Fuggles to the head of the inner front wrapper. A very good copy of this essay examining a supposed duel in 1759 between two leading Norfolk aristocrats (Ketton-Cremer finds no contemporary evidence that the duel took place). The essay was subsequently collected in 'Norfolk Assembly' (1957). Uncommon. Clarke & Gretton A19. [A light item, UK postage will be reduced]., Very Good
