About This Item
[Berkeley]: University of California Chronicle, 1926. First edition. Grey printed wrappers, stapled. A clean, nearly fine copy. Inscribed and signed by Pratt on the title page, dated 1927. This is an offprint from The University of California Chronicle, October, 1926; it is paginated 354 - 361. Quite scarce. Pratt was born in Wisconsin but lived and worked mainly in California. He wrote for the pulp magazines, including Weird Tales and Argosy, and was editor at The Overland Monthly, as well as Art Critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. This is a long narrative poem of mythic Atlantis, told by an immortal survivor of the cataclysm - a tragic and romantic tale including forbidden love, human sacrifice, and the final destruction of Atlantis by the sea!
