About This Item
Macmillan and Co, Limited. 1911 Reprint.. 6.0 x 4.0 inches. In red cloth covers with gilt to spine and front. In very good condition. Spine slightly faded. Slight browning to edges and endpapers. Neat inscription to front endpaper, dated 1912. Occasional small marks inside. Else a clean and tight copy. 212 pp. With b/w plates and line drawings in text. Reprint of The Rose and The Ring, which is a satirical work of fiction written by William Makepeace Thackeray and originally published at Christmas 1854. It criticises, to some extent, the attitudes of the monarchy and those at the top of society and challenges their ideals of beauty and marriage. Set in the fictional countries of Paflagonia and Crim Tartary, the story revolves around the lives and fortunes of four young royal cousins, Princesses Angelica and Rosalba, and Princes Bulbo and Giglio. Each page is headed by a line of poetry summing up the plot at that point and the storyline as a whole is laid out, as the book states, as “A Fireside Pantomime.” The original edition had illustrations by Thackeray who had intended a career as an illustrator.
