Description: Limehouse Nights; Tales of Chinatown Author: Burke, Thomas Title: Limehouse Nights; Tales of Chinatown Publication: London: Grant Richards Limited, 1916 Edition: First Edition Description: First Edition. Hardcover. Includes a contemporary TLS from Burke to poet and writer Samuel Loveman in the original mailing envelope. Very Good, lacking the jacket. Brown buckram, a binding variant matching the author's own copy, pushed at the head and foot of the spine. Firmly bound with a slight forward lean, a few faint stains on the endpapers and fore-edge, clean otherwise. A Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone, this is Burke's collection of stories about the Chinatown of London's East End. The unfortunately named story "The Chink and the Child" was adapted into a 1919 D.W. Griffith film. The letter included is addressed to Samuel Loveman, who was a poet in his own right and a good friend of H.P. Lovecraft. Burke compliments Loveman's poetry, offers to write a favorable review of his new book, then turns his attention to the busisness practices of American publisher Robert McBride. Very Good.
