Item #35433 Savrola (A Tale of the Revolution in Laurania). Winston S. Churchill.

Savrola (A Tale of the Revolution in Laurania)

Longman’s Green & Co., London, 1900, 1st edition. hardcover. Churchill’s only book length novel, written in 1899, published in 1900. The UK edition was delayed by serialisation of the story in a magazine, so the US issue was actually published first. Bound in medium green cloth, gilt on spine and front cover, 345 pages, black endpapers. Only 1500 copies printed, and the survival rate seems far lower than for Churchill’s historical works, making this a scarce and currently undervalued title. This copy has numerous flaws, the most obvious of which is a large label scar on the front cover, most likely from Mudie's lending library. Both hinges badly split and barely hanging on. Contents have foxing throughout. Spine appearance is reasonable so a low cost option to fill an empty space with a real face. (A3ba). Item #35433

Price: $100.00
