KINGSLEY, Charles (1819-75). Westward Ho! Two Years Ago., Alton Locke.
“Pleasantly the old town [Bideford] stands there, beneath its soft Italian sky, fanned day and night by the fresh ocean breeze, which forbids alike the keen winter frosts, and the fierce thunder heats of the midland; and pleasantly it has stood there for now, perhaps eight hundred years, since the first Grenvil, cousin of the Conqueror…”
Interior: Occasional light spotting, tears with minor loss to blank margins-not to text. Half titles are lacking from Two Years Ago and Alton Locke.
Exterior: Contemporary blue half calf (rubbing and light wear to calf and wear to cloth, corners bumped, splitting to inner hinges).
8vo. London, Macmillan and Co., 1890.
Three Charles Kingsley novels bound into one charming, attractive binding.
