First edition with a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing. Author’s debut novel. The book is in VERY FINE and UNREAD condition and comes complete with the publisher’s publicity handout. Very minor nick at the top of the book spine. “Nimira is a trouser girl, a music-hall performer who has lost all hope of a respectable career – until wealthy sorcerer Hollin Parry seemingly comes to her rescue. She believes her prayers have been answered when he whisks her away to his home to perform with a life-size automaton. But Hollin’s house is full of secrets, of locked doors, a mysterious woman roaming the halls at night, suspicions about Mrs Parry’s death and, strangest of all, rumours that the automaton is haunted. When Nimira learns that the automaton is in fact not haunted, but holds captive the spirit of a fairy gentleman, she resolves to break the curse and set him free.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
