D’Artagnan Books


This is a first edition in average condition.  It was published by J W Arrowsmith.  There is no publication date inside.

I presume this is the '3rd state' of the first edition.

The 'f' has not been crossed on the spine and there are 6 titles listed behind the title page.

 

'Rassendyll bears a striking resemblance to Rudolf Elphberg who is about to be crowned King of Ruritania.  When the rival to the throne, Black Michael of Strelsau, attempts to seize power by imprisoning Elphberg in the Castle of Zenda, Rassendyll is obliged to impersonate the King to uphold the rightful sovereignty and ensure political stability.'

 

This is a 1st Edition.
