Description:
A lovely edition of this short story collection by prolific Scottish novelist James Grant. James Grant (1822-1887) was a Scottish novelist and a distant relation of celebrated poet, Sir Walter Scott. He wrote around ninety books, including fifty-six novels, most of which focused on the history of Scotland, including many memoirs and histories as well as his fiction writing. His books were all published by Routledge and Sons as yellowbacks, cheap novels produced in competition with the penny dreadful. This edition has been rebound from a yellowback copy. Contains a string of short stories, most revolving around military characters and events across the globe, with the inclusion of some ghost stories as well.Undated ownership bookplate to the front pastedown to 'James Maclean, 33 Cowley Road, Oxford'. Most likely belonged to James Noël MacKenzie MacLean (1928-1978), a Scottish historian and author who studied at Lincoln University, Oxford.In a half calf binding with a lovely gilt spine. Externally generally smart, some rubbing to the joints. Undated ownership bookplate to the front pastedown and stamp of same name to front endpaper. Internally firmly bound, pages bright and clean.
