The White King of Manoa

New York: R.F. Fenno & Company. Good. 1899. 1st U.S. edition. Hardcover. (decorated cloth; no dust jacket) [solid copy with moderate external wear/soiling, light dampstain affecting bottom of pages in about the last one-third of the book, rubbing to spine lettering/decoration, all in all a perfectly good reading copy]. "Lost race" novel-cum-historical fiction, in which a member of one of Sir Walter Raleigh's expeditions to the New World discovers an El Dorado-type kingdom. The title of a chapter in the book's closing section probably says it all: "Too True Not to be Strange." .
