Kirk was a political conservative and a moral philosopher, as well as an author. He was a major proponent of Christian Humanism, similar to T. S. Eliot. The Princess of All Lands is a short story collection, including the title-story, Saviourgate, There's a Long Long Trail A-Winding, Balgrummo's Hell, The Last God's Dream; this is the first of his books published by Arkham House. There's a Long Long Trail A-Winding won a World Fantasy Award. Manuscript material by Kirk is quite uncommon.

The usual wear, creasing, soiling that one would expect from working production materials. Fine.
