What Our Customers Say...
Description
Fine Binding, First Edition, Very Scarce
The first edition of this title, in triple decker form. Previously, this work was serialised in Cassell's Magazine. In the same year a one volume edition was issued in America.
Recently rebound, in a fine half calf binding, with marbled boards.
Volume I has been bound without the advertisement leaf.
This novel regards a young blind woman, Lucille, who temporarily regains their sight. She finds herself in a love triangle with twin brothers who use her blindness to trick her.
A very scarce first edition of this work.
Collins is probably best known for 'The Woman in White' and 'The Moonstone'. The latter is regarded as the first modern detective novel.
