MEN LOVED DARKNESS. A Romance of Chivalry.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original orange cloth with black titles to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent better than very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping at the corners, the cloth fresh and bright. The contents with a previous owner's bookplate and shelf stamp to the front pastedown, and his ownership inscription at the head of the tile page are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has a small closed tear at the head of the slightly toned spine and the remains of a paper label once placed over the 7/6 net printed price. Scarce.

Historical fiction concerning the mysterious fate of Edward II based upon his presumed escape and his wanderings in exile overseas followed by one devoted servant, Guilli, a soldier.
