New York: Robert M. McBride & Company, 1929. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 7x5x1. Pape, Frank C. First edition. Lacks slipcase. Board fore-edge rubbed. 1929 Hard Cover. viii, 209 pp. 8vo. Decorations by Frank C. Pape. 'Today, some recognize Cabell as one of the first contemporary writers from the South. He is also noted for his unique blending of classic myths and legends with his own imagination and is considered a pioneer of fantasy writing. The Way of Ecben is derived from the Norrovian legend upon which is based Felix Kennaston's The King's Quest, but Cabell claims that his tale clings rigorously to the queer legend's restrained, and quite unfigurative, first shaping.
