Luke, Sir Harry.

The Tenth Muse. An unconventional cookery book of recipes of many lands.

London: Putnam, 1954.

Octavo, 240 pages. First edition of this odd book of recipes compiled from the kitchens of "sheiks, millionaires, peasants, dervishes, and gourmets of the old school." With interesting asides on the schooling of truffle hounds, the difference between crawfish and crayfish, and other "succulent morsels of information." A fine copy in publisher's green cloth with a lightly worn, near very good dust jacket with one large closed tear.
