About This Item
London: Gollancz, 1941. First edition, first printing. Published by Gollancz in London, 1941. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper suffers from some light creasing and spotting throughout, with the top and tail edge of the spine scuffed and torn. The corners are with separation and there are further marks to the rear panel. It has not been clipped. 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 toned and with some sparse spotting. Overall, this is a very good 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.
