BUCHAN, John (1875-1940). Witch Wood. London: Hodder and Stoughton, [1927]. 8vo. 380, [4, ads] pp. Publisher's full light blue cloth, front board and spine, publisher's unclipped (price on spine) dust jacket. FIRST EDITION OF THIS HISTORICAL NOVEL ABOUT DEVIL WORSHIPERS IN SCOTLAND IN THE RARE DUST JACKET. This is considered to be Buchan's masterpiece (superseding "The Thirty-Nine Steps" for many readers), and was Buchan's favorite of all his works.

Cloth spine toned and rubbed, light rubbing to cloth, corners mildly bumped, endleaves and text a bit toned, some foxing to edge of text block, ownership signature on ffep.; jacket with repairs to verso at spine, jacket spine toned, chipped, somewhat worn and soiled, some edgewear to jacket, small scuff-mark to front jacket panel, rear jacket panel toned, foxed, a few tears, creases to flaps. Still, very good.
