The Stratagem and other Stories is a small book of short stories written by Aleister Crowley, occult magician, poet and self-proclaimed prophet. The book was originally published in 1929 and one of a series of Crowley's works to be published by Mandrake Press after a period in which Crowley found it difficult to publish due both to his lack of funds, and his notoriety. Mandrake Press also published The Confessions of Aleister Crowley volumes I and II, and Moonchild. Fine condition, accompanying dust cover.
