Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Andre Dugo (illustrator). 1st Printing, October 1946. The World Publishing Company, Cleveland, OH. Hardcover. Stated First Printing October 1946. A "The Living Library" book. Condition: Good +; light bumping to head, tail, and tips; light sun-fading to spine; light shelf wear to head, tail, and tips. No Dust Jacket. Roxana picture on front board. Internal hinges are sound and not split. This book was written in 1724 and was Defoe's last novel and his darkest one.

A resourceful adventuress, she is also an unforgiving analyst of her own susceptibilities, who tells us of the price she pays for her successes. Endowed with many seductive skills, she is herself seduced: by money, by dreams of rank, and by the illusion that she can escape her own past.…
