About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1924. First U.S. edition. 8vo. Original publisher's black cloth with very good dust jacket: some chipping at foot of spine and corners, two small tears on back bottom DJ with no loss. Ownership inscription on front paste-down endpaper reads "John F.M. Schroeder, 1924". First U.S. edition. 8vo. First American Edition of an early Sabatini hit. Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) is today best known for his novel Captain Blood. His Italian father and English mother were both well-known opera singers, and Sabatini took up writing after a brief stint in the business world.
Mistress Wilding was originally published as either Anthony Wilding or Arms and the Maid in 1910, and republished in 1924 by Houghton Mifflin after the success of Captain Blood (which was a break out hit in 1922)
Set against the backdrop of the Duke of Monmouth's uprising against King James II, this book has all the hallmarks of a Sabatini novel: action, romance, and swashbuckling adventure.
