Notes on Maeterlinck's
A Miracle of St. Antony

In an e-mail to the ModLib Mailing List on August 12 2012, Barry Neavill said:

"Cerf and Klopfer made a single printing of Maeterlinck's Miracle of Saint Antony and Five Other Plays in fall 1925. The fall 1925 jacket is similar to B&L jackets and gives the title as A MIRACLE OF SAINT ANTONY.

"During 1921-24 Maeterlinck was in the fourth quarter of B&L titles in terms of sales. Cerf and Klopfer listed it in an ad in the New Yorker (February 12, 1926) -- the magazine was not quite one year old at the time -- as one of the four worst-selling ML titles, along with Latzko, Men in War, Marjorie Fleming’s Book, and Ouida, In a Winter City."
