About This Item
London : Jarrold & Sons, 1902. First edition. An uncommon fantasy of identity switching from the irrepressible "R. Andom" - different identities assumed by means of a "magic green packet of transmigration tablets" - "The hero ... is projected into the twenty-first century through the agency of an explosive clock, and this is how he comes in contact with the Identity Exchange ... To those who like fun fast and furious, the story may be cordially commended" (The Scotsman, 10th November 1902). Later republished as "The Marvellous Adventures of Me". Crown 8vo (20cm). 286,[vi],[16]pp. Numerous illustrations by Charles Harrison (1860-1943). Original pinkish-brown pictorial cloth, blocked and lettered in black and red; a few faint marks; some rusting to staples; just a touch shaken, but a good copy of an engaging fantasy.
