Author: HORNUNG, E.W. [Ernest William].
Title: Stingaree.
Description: NY, Scribners 1905. Octavo publishers green cloth with a mounted illustration on the front; eight plates by George Lambert. A rather good copy. ¶ First American edition or first edition? April according to the copyright page and the reviews and advertisements. Did the English edition beat it into print? It seems unlikely - May 15 is the publisher's announcement I found. One of Hornung's relatively few proper Australian thrillers.
