About this Item
Green cloth with gilt lettering and elaborate red decoration to spine and boards designed by Percy Smith. Line of sun to edges and bottom half of spine. Text is clean and bright, no marks, lightly and evenly tanned. Unclipped DJ with $2.50 price shows heavy wear, rubbing to all edges, half of spine missing, front flap nearly torn free, with wonderful cover art from a painting by George Annand. "In John Julian Apostasius Pybus there was something of the Roman emperor, a touch of stoicism, of mobility which common men have not. It was a nobility lost, however, on his own children, for both Conrad and Probyn, grown wealthy and important, were ashamed of him. It is left to his grandson, Lance, to discover him as he is. In this novel of two generations, both misunderstood by the generation that stands between them, find a rare sympathy and a mutual understanding in each other's outlook." (from the jacket).
