Volume is worn all edges and to the boards on the corners, the spine ends are frayed. Pages are clean and tight. Foreword by Marie Corelli, is a rant against the 'Drink Trade' and 'Drink Evil'. "Mary Mackay began her career as a musician, adopting the name Marie Corelli for her billing. She gave up music, turning to writing instead and in 1886 published her first novel. In her time, she was the most widely read author of fiction but came under harsh criticism from many of the literary elite for her overly melodramatic and emotional writing. A recurring theme throughout Corelli's books was her attempt to reconcile Christianity with reincarnation, astral projection and other mystical topics. Her books were a very important part of the foundation of today's New Age religion, some of whose adherents say that Corelli was "inspired". $22.00USD
