A fairy tale for weary people

What an amazing find amongst the book donations at Oxfam yesterday! Anything unusual or old I put to one side to research later.
Ronald Firbank was an ‘aesthete’ much influenced by Oscar Wilde. A modernist who wrote 8 novels, this was his first - written when he was 19 in 1905. The illustrations are beautiful and weird - to me they seem to have an influence of Aubrey Beardsley. A gay man in the style of Wilde, he lived off his inheritance in Europe, drank too much and died age 40. The laws against homosexuality back then were unforgivable, his choices were so limited.
Any how, I love the subtitle of this - a fairy tale for the weary. Research online reveals oxfam should get upwards of £100 for this, but they will need to sell it online. No point putting something that costly in the shop.
This is the part of my job at Oxfam that I will miss - but then again it doesn’t happen very often:) it’s usually Val McDermid and Bernard Cornwell. No criticism of either, but there are many copies of their books in circulation.
