What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
The first UK edition, first published in 1855 in New York.
A very scarce work.
Illustrated with a monochrome frontispiece, engraved title page, illuminated letters and two monochrome plates. Collated, complete.
George Payne Rainsford James' tale about a prince who gets bored with his perfect life and decides to leave the comforts of the castle in the hope of avoiding his companion 'Satiety', a dwarf employed by the castle to accompany him.
Publisher's advertisements to the rear.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth. Externally very smart with fading to the spine, a very minor closed tears to the joints, and the odd slight mark to the boards. Internally firmly bound with bright pages and the odd spot, heavier to the title and frontispiece.
Very Good Indeed
