Woven in the Tapestry
New York: Moffat, Yard and Company, 1908. First Edition, First Printing. Signed and inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper. 12mo, 139 pages, publisher's original semi limp vegetable vellum wraps. An early work of fiction by Emily Post, published years before she became internationally known as an authority on etiquette. Woven in the Tapestry is a romantic tale set in the imaginary European kingdom of Ateria, blending courtly society, political intrigue, personal loyalty, and elements of fairy-tale fantasy. The novel offers an unusual glimpse of Post’s early literary career and reveals the narrative interests and social observations that preceded her later success with Etiquette. An appealing title for collectors of Emily Post, early twentieth-century women writers, romantic fiction, and American fantasy literature. Some discoloration to the wraps, chips to top and bottom of spine, slight rubbing, else in very good condition. Item #448
