    Amazing Find!!!!!
    A Rare glimpse of the original dust jacket from this Victorian Tale of Horror...



    One of the interior color plates illustrating an exciting moment from the story as our hero battles the foe with the help of his handsomely thin aviatrix...



    Finally could this be a possible lost fragment from the actual record... documenting the demise of the Maple Leaf?

    And the ultimate tragedy of it all is that had Panache consulted with the current Lord Stillwater, J. Sciuropterus, all of this bloodshed could have been avoided, along with the death of what may have been the last surviving Giant Arctic Flying Squirrel, Glaucomys arctos giganteus. His Lordship's studies of flying squirrels are well-known, and he had recently started a captive breeding program of white Glaucomys sabrinus, increasing their size while selecting for pure white coloration. Had Panache waited but a year, two at most, he could have had a sporran made of the "Acryli-Beast's" closest kin, without resorting to deception, embezzlement, and ultimately, violence.
    Oh, the humanity of it all.



    Kinda makes me glad I'm a dog.
