No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Fiction. From the Dust Jacket: "In the fall of 1900, Dr. Gustav Uyterhoeven left the chess garden that he and his wife, Sonja, had created together in Dayton, Ohio, and journeyed to South Africa to serve as a doctor in the British concentration camps of the Boer War. Over the next twelve months he sent twelve chess pieces and twelve letters back to Sonja... In the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, Brooks Hansen offers a tale of spiritual progress disguised in the most exotic visions of the imagination... History and allegory are expertly woven until finally both lead back to the chess garden itself, a place where ideas give way to vision, reason meets faith, and fact and figment are finally reconciled." .
