About This Item
London : Macmillan & Co., 1880. First edition. "There is always a pleasurable feeling of expectation in opening a new novel by Miss Yonge and that lady's many admirers need not be told that there is a certainty of more or less satisfaction from anything she writes" (Morning Post, 14th September 1880). A lost inheritance, a secret love - Major Delavie and his three daughters encounter the wonderfully villainous Lady Belamour. Two volumes. Crown 8vo (20cm). [viii],288; [viii],304pp. Original green cloth, ruled and lettered in gilt, and blocked in black; a little rubbed and worn; endpapers cracking; a little slack; a few internal marks, nicks and spots, but a good and serviceable cloth set.
