About This Item
London: Gollancz, 1941. First edition, first printing. Published by Gollancz in London, 1941. This is a near fine copy - neat inscription to the foot of the front endpaper. The dust wrapper has not been clipped and is lightly rubbed to the extremities. The original publisher's cloth is free from chips and marks, though slightly toned at the spine. The internals are spotted to the preliminaries, though free from inscriptions. The text blocks are clean and bright. Overall, this is a near fine copy of an iconic title. Set in Cornwall during the reign of Charles II, it tells the story of a love affair between an impulsive English lady, Dona, Lady St. Columb, and a French pirate, Jean-Benoit Aubéry.
