About this Item

The spine is quite heavily faded with the lettering dulled, fraying at the top and bottom and there is a tear along the full length of the ride edge next to the front panel. The corners of the boards are bumped and rubbed with a little fraying to the bottom right corner of the front panel. The rear panel is a little discoloured with a few light stains. Page edges a little darkened. The original owner - H. Rider Haggard's daughter Angela Agnes has written her name in ink to the blank page following the half title page (where she has also written her initial A). The tissue paper over the title page is browned. The webbing can be seen at pages 66 and 154 and the binding is a little slack but secure enough. There is some spotting to pages 154 and 155 and at the front and back of the book. There are a few light spots and stains through the book but the pages are generally unmarked. Illustrated in black and white by H.J. Ford. First printing. Seller Inventory # 016071
