SULLIVAN, James F.
The Flame-Flower and Other Stories
Seven stories with “a hundred illustrations by the author“ some of which occupy a full page. Some illustrations are humorous, others romantic with an art nouveau tinge —a versatility of style recalling J. D. Batten. The stories are humorous and include a parody of Wells’s The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896) entitled “The Isle of Professor Menu“ featuring such fearsome creatures as the “porcupinapple.“ Sullivan, 1853-1936), was a regular contributor to The Strand Magazine and the less celebrated Fun (a cheap alternative to Punch) in which his most successful feature was a long running series of strip cartoons called “The British Working Man, by Someone Who Does Not Believe in Him”.
But for wear to lower corner at foot of spine, a very good copy.
