A.D. was just fourteen years old when he wrote his first publishable story - ""Bat's Belfry" -  while he was recouperating at his Grandmother's home suffering with mumps.  The story appeared later in "Weird Tales" May, 1926, and he was still working on the collection"The Watchers Out of Time" virtually up until the end of his sixty-second year when his worn out body finally expired in 1971.The "staff of Arkham House" published this Arkham House ephemeral item as a salute to August Derleth and mailed it out to subscribers of Arkham House's publications - it was never offered for sale.Uncommon item especially in this near very fine condition! FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM!DOMESTIC SHIPPING $FREE!
