Completed around the year 1902, Baron Corvo's first novel was roundly rejected for publication by every major publisher until an edition of 2000 copies was nearly printed in 1909. With both printer and author facing imminent bankruptcy the project collapsed and the book remained unpublished until this edition was mooted in the 1960's.
