About this Item

First American edition, first printing -no other printings listed. The book is square with tightly bound pages, decent corners and clean unmarred boards. Crescent gap between cloth backstrip and text. Textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate or marks and not BCE, ex-library or remaindered. Tiny stain to top fore-edges and pages lightly tanned. Dust jacket is unclipped ($ 6.50) with mild soiling, chipping to spine ends and small hole to back flap fold. Introduction by Graham Greene. Protected in a Brodart Mylar cover. This masterful performance of historical fiction centers on Katharine Howard -- clever, beautiful, and outspoken -- who catches the jaded eye of Henry VIII and becomes his fifth Queen. Corruption and fear pervade the King's court, and the dimly lit corridors vibrate with the intrigues of unscrupulous courtiers hungry for power. Soon Katharine is locked in a vicious battle with Thomas Cromwell, the Lord Privy Seal, as she fights for political and religious change. - Goodreads. Seller Inventory # 5629
