A beautifully produced Folio Society edition of The Pastons: A Family in the Wars of the Roses, complete with its original slipcase. Drawing on the remarkable cache of Paston family letters, this volume offers an intimate portrait of gentry life during one of England’s most turbulent periods. The correspondence reveals their struggles to secure property, navigate shifting political alliances and maintain family fortunes amid the chaos of civil war. It is both a vivid social history and a rare window into the personal voices of the fifteenth century. Folio’s elegant binding, quality paper and careful presentation make this an appealing collector’s copy for readers of medieval history and fine editions.
