St. George for England, A Tale of Cressy and Poitiers

London and Glasgow: Blackie & Son Limited Very Good condition (spine just a bit faded). No date [but circa 1923]. A solid reading copy, and an interesting variant for the bibliographically inclined. Clean, square, tight, unmarked copy. No owner's name or bookplate. Inner hinges are perfectly sound. Illustrated with 5 plates by Frank Gillett, R. I., including a full-color frontispiece. As normal with this edition, there is no publisher's catalogue at the end. Front cover features a colorful knight in armor (in red, black, green, and tan). Another knight, holding a large sword, appears on the spine. This appears to be a variant of Newbolt 20.4, published about 1923, as part of The New Popular Henty series. In this copy, the list of Henty's books on page 2 includes 56 titles (Newbolt 20.4 calls for 45). This copy lacks the printer's imprint at the foot of page 352. It also differs slightly from Newbolt 20.4 in that the title page imprint reads "London and Glasgow" rather than "London Glasgow Bombay." Bound in the original green, pictorial cloth. Reprint of the 1885 original. Hardcover. Very Good condition/No dust jacket. Illus. by Gillett, Frank R. I. 8vo. 352pp.…
