Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Édouard Manet and Gustave Caillebotte. A girl escaping a convent, a gambling town on the Riviera, and a house whose owner collects people. The Williamsons put Monte Carlo to work here instead of the open road, and the machinery of the casino is described by people who had watched it. This edition binds fifty-eight plates of painting with the text, among them works by Edvard Munch and James 'Clock' Shaw, alongside two illustrations restored and coloured.

Charles Norris Williamson (1859-1920) and Alice Muriel Williamson (1869-1933) were a British husband-and-wife writing partnership. He founded Black and White magazine; she wrote much of the actual prose. Together they produced a long series of motoring romances and light novels. Their works include The Lightning Conductor, The Guests of Hercules, and The Car of Destiny.
