A very smart first edition of this historical romance novel from Margaret Campbell Barnes, signed by the author. First edition. Signed by the author to the title page. A fictionalised interpretation of the life of Anne of Cleves, Henry VIII's fourth wife, and one of the few women who is said to have outwitted the tempestuous king and lived to tell the tale. Written by Margaret Campbell Barnes, an English writer of short stories and historical fiction. In the original green cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light shelf wear and minor bumping to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also smart with light shelf wear and chipping to the extremities. The odd small closed tear and a small split to the front joint. Sunning to the spine and the odd mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the author's inscription to the title page. Contemporary ink inscription to the front endpaper. Very Good Indeed
