WOODSTOCK: or The Cavalier, A Tale of the Year Sixteen Hundred and Fifty-One

This is one of the Nelson's Classics, published in the 20s by Thomas Nelson and Sons. This particular copy was printed in the UK, with the UK price on the dust jacket. It was sold, for .75, by Spencer's department store in Vancouver, which operated from 1926 to 1948. The price tag is still on the inside back cover. It is already half off; you can re-attach it, or remove it.

Green cloth cover over a book in perfect condition. There are no marks of any kind in or on the book. It has not been read; the spine has not been cracked. All of the pages are clear, clean and bright. The only marks on the cover are shelf-rubbings at the top and bottom of the spine. The lettering on the spine is brilliant gold.

The dust jacket has more wear, as you can see. It's a lovely bright orange, with cream lettering. There is some soiling to the right side of the dust jacket, but I just ran an eraser over it and it came right off.

586 pages, 4 ¼" x 6 1/4" x 1"

Woodstock, or The Cavalier, A Tale of the Year Sixteen Hundred and Fifty-One (1826) is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott. Set just after the English Civil War, it was inspired by the legend of the Good Devil of Woodstock, which in 1649 supposedly tormented parliamentary commissioners who had taken possession of a royal residence at Woodstock, Oxfordshire. The story deals with the escape of Charles II in 1652, during the Commonwealth, and his final triumphant entry into London on 29 May 1660.
