The master of the swashbuckling tale, he created the characters Scaramouche and Captain Blood, and his novel 'The Sea Hawk' was made into a Hollywood film starring Errol Flynn. This volume provides a selection of 20 stories, 18 of which have never before been reprinted in book form. The stories range in historical time from the 16th to the 18th centuries, with an array of rogues, vagabonds, shyster lawyers, cutpurses, quacks and conmen. With a Foreword by George Macdonald Fraser, the biographer of Flashman.

The five cousins who all grew up under the mantle of their grandmother Queen Victoria. Alix, Missy, Ena, Maud and Sophie were childhood friends, who were to become the rulers of opposing nations as Europe descended into war. Alexandra (1872-1918), the last Tsarina of Russia, whose family's brutal murder is the stuff of legend. Marie (1875-1938), the flamboyant queen of Romania whose affairs scandalised her peers but whose heroism saved her country. Victoria Eugenie (1887-1969), a very English queen who returned to Britain after Franco took power in Spain and was the only cousin to live to see a second European war. Sophie (1870-1932), sister of the Kaiser, was exiled from the Greek throne after the First World War. Maud (1869-1938), daughter of Edward VII, the reluctant Queen of Norway. Julia Gelardi's book is both an intimate portrait of the five cousins told through their own correspondence and papers, and a remarkable evocation of the family dramas that created the backdrop to the unfolding political crisis of early 20th century Europe and the First World War. Quite a scarce book.

This out-of series Presentation Copy is inscribed from Parisian publisher LÉON CONQUET (1848-1898) to famed fellow publisher, LÉON VANIER, (1847-1896), also known as the "Father of the Decadents". The inscription reads: "à mon confrère/ Hommage arriveé/ (signature) or, to my colleague: Tribute arrives!"**CONDITION: Very Fine. Slight bleed-through of the watercolored title page shows as a small shadow to the limitation page.** An interesting element of the design has variation of the trim width of the pages, with the gatherings alternating in width by about a centimeter. The original black and white printed tile page has been brightly hand-colored and signed by Rouen's JULES ADELINE: artist, critic, noted collector of Japanese prints, books, benefactor to the museums of Rouen. He is considered an important disseminator of the "japanisme" which became such a feature of the art of the period. And which plays a fictional role in the story here: The titular Bouddha statuette is a Symbolist essence whose fate reflects a human misalliance. [See our related listing No. 9332 for Adeline's "Les Arts de Reproduction Vulgarisés."] **In the story, Edmund de Lauriér, ex-Legionnaire, falls in love with a woman, Antonia, who is an actress, known as "La Mousmée, and plays a role in a play about the Far East. She lives in an apartment swathed in a Japanese aesthetic. de Laurier brings her a gift of a gilded and painted Bouddha, but it does not survive, nor does their love.Edmund goes off to wage war in Indochina at Tonkin, (the Sino-French War of 1884-5) and, in the midst of battle, discovers another Bouddha which he liberates at the cost of two lives to bring home to his Antonia in Paris. An unexpected outcome awaits him Art imitates life and is reflected back upon itself.AUTHOR JULES Arsène Arnaud CLARETIE (1840-1913) was also a novelist and playwright as well as Director of the Théâtre Français, French National Theater. **The near-contemporary FINE BINDING is signed "C.E.G." in gilt to the lower front center of the gilt and red onlay decorated turn-in, which also features a red moire silk doublure; similar design at the rear of binding. Again, Tudor roses and laurel sprigs predominate. The bookbinder's signature is attributed to the Englishman, Capt. Charles Elsden Gladstone, RN. Both boards are lavishly decorated in full blue crushed morocco gilt, upon which are centered two circular red morocco onlays giving the appearance of Gallic military rosettes. Four additional shaped red onlays are fashioned into English Tudor roses. Gilt neoclassical framing is enhanced with opposing sprays of laurel leaves, here perhaps reminiscent of traditional Napoleonic/Greek crowns of victory. Stars, small flowers and other small stamped gilt decoration completes the complex and beautiful design. Titles in gilt appear vertically along the spine. All edges gilt, fillet rule upon board edges and shilling roll to head and foot of spine. Original pink wraps bound in. **Gladstone is an elusive figure in the records of fine English bookbinding at the turn of the twentieth century, but his work is included in the British Library collection, and our item seems to share use of some of the stamps illustrated by the BL.
