The Disentanglers by Andrew Lang

With Illustrations by H. J. Ford, 1902

Rare first edition, first printing, with the only available dust jacket in market, of Andrew Lang's uproarious comedy, The Disentanglers. Known for his Fairy Books, Lang demonstrates his sharp wit in this tale of a kidnapped Canadian heiress, a frantic pursuit across the Scottish coast, and the unlikely use of submarines. "The most successful of Lang's attempts at humorous fiction" (Green), this novel, originally serialized in Longman's Magazine (1896), showcases his talent for "inspired tomfoolery" (ODNB).
