About This Item
boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1926. First American edition. 1 vols. 8vo. Original fine black publisher's cloth with near-fine dust jacket, slightly bumped at foot of spine and bottom corners. Ownership inscription and address on front paste-down endpaper of Robert L. Miller. First American edition. 1 vols. 8vo. Eighteenth-century English quest for revenge. First American edition. Justin Caryll, raised in eighteenth-century France, is sent by his guardian to England to wreak vengeance on his father, who abandoned his late mother many years before. Twists and turns, unexpectedly fiesty heroines, and an excellent duel scene mark this a Sabatini swashbuckler.
Many of Sabatini's early novels (this one was first published in England in 1911) were published for the first time in America after the success of Captain Blood and Scaramouche brought Sabatini to the attention of American readers.
