First edition. (1/400 copies). 8vo, 137pp; + Table of Contents; decorated stiff wrappers with print "Yachting dans l'Archipel". Edited by Claudine Lesage with an Editor's Note. Signed by Claudine Lesage. A small library in Hyeres long had a beautifully bound manuscript written in English. When a Conrad scholar who spoke English came to the library, the librarian eventually brought out the mss. to see if the scholar could say what the manuscript was. To her astonishment scholar Claudine Lesage realized that here was an undiscovered diary of Edith Wharton, an account of a Mediterranean cruise, her first, in 1888. A remarkable discovery which shows the fledgling writer beginning to hone her powers of observation. Near fine.
