Mineola NY: Calla Editions, 2016. reprint. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover, with pastedown plate on cover, gilt stamping.

This splendid hardcover edition reprints the tale as it first appeared in The Strand Magazine and includes the original brush-and-wash illustrations by Golden Age masters Harry Rountree. Doyle, using his Maple White alias, provides artwork as well. No dust jacket issued. Record # 377828
