About This Item
Philadelphia: The John C Winston Co, 1900. Hardcover. Very Good. Undated, 1900. Two volumes, hardback, bound in the original red cloth with ornate gilt decoration to spine and upper board. Top edge gilt. Each 20.5 × 14cm, 516pp + 565pp. John Ridd, an unsophisticated farmer, falls in love with the beautiful and aristocratic Lorna Doone, kidnapped as a child by the outlaw Doones on Exmoor. Ridd's rivalry with the villainous Carver Doone reaches a dramatic climax that will determine Lorna's future happiness. This edition illustrated with frontispieces and fifty one plates, of portraits and photographs of the Exmoor landscape etc. Condition: A lovely set. There is a little light rubbing to the boards' edges and corners, and spine ends but the giltwork remains crisp (very slight loss to the joints through handling). The inner bindings are secure, and the pages clean. A delightful copy. **PLEASE NOTE: As this is a heavy book, postage may have to be increased for overseas (non-UK) buyers, or decreased where appropriate.
