About This Item
Fink and Wagnalls, 1900. Hardcover. Very Good. Very good + red cloth hardcover (7 1/4 by 10 3/4 inches) (no dust jacket if issued) with small cover illustration in black and gilt of knights on horseback with black and gilt letter and decoration to cover and spine, along with top page edges gilt. Copy shows hint of exposure toning along spine and touch of shelf wear, else tight and clean. 401 pages nicely illustrated in black & white by Dunki, Detti, Kurner, Flameng, Gosselin and Scott. Still an attractive copy of this hard to find and very pleasing Watch Weel edition of Scott's work.
