    Description

    Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    New edition. Illustrated with a frontispiece, fifteen plates, and numerous in-text images. Collated complete. A first-person picaresque novel purporting to be the true account of the life of the eponymous Moll, detailing her exploits from birth until old age. Exploring the fall and eventual redemption, both material and spiritual, of a lone woman in seventeenth-century England, with her savvy manipulation of both men and wealth earning her a life of trials, but ultimately an ending in reward. Written by Daniel Defoe, an English novelist, journalist, merchant, pamphleteer and spy best known for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Illustrated by John Archibald Austen, a British book illustrator.

Minor loss from chipping to the head of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. With light spotting and age toning to the endpapers.

    Very Good
