VALENTINE AND ORSON THE TWIN KNIGHTS OF FRANCE

First edition. Original green cloth with titles in cream and black to the spine and upper board, with an illustration plate inlay to the upper board, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with eight colour plates by Florence Mary Anderson. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth clean, the corners and spine tips a little rubbed, the spine a touch faded. The contents, with some offsetting and foxing to the early and late pages opposite the plates, are otherwise clean and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the chipped, torn and creased original dustwrapper that has been repaired with several small pieces of tape to the underside. Scarce in the dustwrapper.

A children's retelling of the story of the knights Valentine and Orson from the medieval French Carolingian cycle, beautifully illustrated by Florence Mary Anderson.
