This temperance novel once belonged to Richard Connell, author of the famous short story, "The Most Dangerous Game." Connell's signature and address in Beverly Hills, California are on the ffep. But, making the book somewhat special is a poem in Connell's hand on the front pastedown, summing up the book. The last two lines of the poem read, "Books of this nature, / Turn good men to sots." Funny poem, intriguing association. "The Most Dangerous Game" is one of the most frequently anthologized poems in American Literature. Book, signature, poem, all -- how can you ask for more Another former owner's name is on the ffep. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 361 pages; Signed by Notable Personage, Unrelated
