MOORE, George Augustus (1852-1933). Corrected typescript of his collection of short stories, A Story-teller's Holiday [1918], very extensive autograph emendations, cancellations and additions, to almost every page in the first quarter, 580 pages, 4to (numbered), in a red cloth slip-case.

A Story-teller's Holiday relates a series of Irish folk tales of poets, monks and nuns within the autobiographical framework of a journey from London to Mayo and back. It was first published in 1918 in a limited edition under the sign of the fictitious Society of Irish Folklore -- an attempt by Moore to evade the controversy that had surrounded the publication of The Brook Kerith (1916) and Lewis Seymour and some Women (1917).
