THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND VOLUME I IN JOHANNESBURG

Subtitle: Foundation Author: Peter Ackroyd Publisher: Pan Books () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 500 Dimensions: 19.5 x 13 x 3.5 cm +++ by Peter Ackroyd +++ In Foundation, the chronicler of London and of its river the Thames, takes us from the primeval forests of England's prehistory to the death, in , of the first Tudor kind, Henry VII. With his extraordinary skill for evoking time and place and his acute eye for the telling detail, Peter Ackroyd recounts the familiar story of warring kinds, of civil strife and foreign wars. But he also gives us a vivid sense of how our forebears really lived, bringing them to life in characteristically rich prose.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
