The Forgotten Incarnation Fox (Leslie H.) Manuscripts & Typescripts

Original typescript with author's manuscript edits and underlining. 4to. Bound in contemporary boards with title label and label from the Apex Literary Agency to upper board. A seemingly unpublished novel by an author whose other works were published posthumously in the 1940s (the author was killed in action during a raid on Hamburg in 1942). The work is described on a preliminary page as a romance, with period and location given as '3409 B.C. - Ancient Egypt / 1942 A.D. - London, England', and seems to be in the style of H. Rider Haggard, as Fox had originally given the 'author' of the work as Allan Quartermain [sic], but has subsequently scored that out and added by hand 'Leo Rex', presumably a character of his own invention (possibly a recurring character, as the author's last advertised work to be published seems to be Rex on the Trail - cf. Bear Alley Books blog). Spine worn with some loss.
