What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

First edition.

Bound in the publisher's smart pictorial cloth.

Written by English Victorian novelist, Henrietta May Poynter, who wrote a number of novels surrounding history and romance.

'A Fair Jacobite' is a historical novel following the end of the Stuart dynasty, at a time when the royal Stuart family were exiled to France. While some characters are fictitious, the historical details for his novel were taken from Miss Strickland's 'Life of Queen Maria Beatrice' and from other memoirs of the time.

Illustrated with a frontispiece and illustrated title page, in colour.

With a prize inscription awarding the book to Dora Miller, from Bradbourne College, Sevenoaks.

Condition

Bound in the publisher's pictorial cloth. Externally, excellent, with light shelf wear to the head and tail of the spine, and the odd mark. Front hinge is a touch strained, but holding firm. Ink inscription to the front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean.
