THE INCA EMERALD
Book Details + Condition: The Century Co (New York). First Edition, 1922. Hardcover with decorated boards. 296 pages. Illustrated by Charles Livingston Bull.

Vampire bats, poisonous snakes, frightening spiders, magnificent birds, marvelous astronomical features, and fantastic plants are all detailed.
