Campden, Glos, The Essex House Press, 1904

A fine press edition of Victorian poet Thomas Hood's timeless satire about the corrupting influence of money. Miss Kilmansegg is the foolish, spoilt daughter of a banker, who insists on having an artificial limb made out of gold after she loses one of her legs in a riding accident...a truly cautionary tale.
