This is an x-lib - BUT - little used and both book and wrapper remained in a good condition   ****  . Item Description:  London: Macmillan, 1966. Presumed FIRST EDITION.  dj (with wraparound illustration featuring white line drawings of men with shields on horseback galloping across a brown/black landscape) -  With wonderful b/w illustrations by Janet Margrie. A fantastic historical novel which 'evokes the Dark Ages in all their harshness and splendour - the complex ties of loyalty and blood are unravelled, treachery and spite are redeemed by high courage and nobility'.  *NB* If you buy more books from me on the same day you only pay R 6 postage each on the additional books -  See what else I have to offer, it might just be worth your while.  

"Something for every mood finds a place in the collection; the serious, the light, the true, the thriller - and the poetry lover is not forgotten. The background is Africa, most of the contributions having been selected from the pens of authors who are among Southern Africa's most famous writers. To avoid the charge of excessive parochialism others whose names are known wherever the English word is read, are also included." Contributors include Edmund Blunden, Hector Bolitho, Stuart Cloete, Walter de la Mare, A. D. Divine, Lord Dunsany, John Gloag, A. P. Herbert, J. L. Hodson, Uys Krige, Sir Harry Luke, Sarah Gertrude Millin, Alan Paton, William Plomer, Eric Rosenthal, William Samson, F. Carey Slater, L. A. G. Strong, Oliver Walker, Dornford Yates, Francis Brett Young. - Sadly no wrapper - Collins 1950 - good condition.  *N.B.*   If you buy more books from me you only pay R 6 postage each on the additional books – see what else I have to offer, it might be worth your while.
