Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Brian Wildsmith (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE TRANSLATOR, IN BLACK PEN, ON FFEP 'To Prof James Sutherland L. W. Kingsland 1963'. Some slight edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of largely white and red jacket and spine, corners very slightly rubbed, spine very slightly browned and faded, not price clipped (21s), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 271pp, illustrated endpapers. The story of a young Danish horseman as a charioteer in the Circus Maximus in the early Roman Empire. Very little seems to be known about both the author Poul Knudsen (this seems to have been his only book translated into English), and the translator L. W. Kingsland. I could not even find out what Kingsland's initials L. W. stood for or the life and death dates of both of them. But Professor Sir James Runcieman Sutherland, FBA (1900-96), was an English literary scholar, Lord Northcliffe Professor of Modern Literature at London University. Very scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).
