The Quest of the Golden Stairs by A.E. Waite
Publication:1927 Theosophical Publishing House First Edition
Hardcover. Quarto. vi + 176pp
A scarce allegorical work from A.E. Waite. From the Publisher: "From the outset of this mystical romance, full of the fragrance of rare imaginings, the reader will feel that the author is not a mere teller of stories writing for the sake of making a book, but a gifted mystic turning the ripeness of his knowledge and the beauty of his poetic faculty to a new and full account. From the first page to the last the reader follows with all the joy of the explorer in new and enchanted lands." Few others were as kind, and despite a relatively small print run the book could still be purchased new some fifty years after its publication! [Gilbert A40]
