Octavo, orange boards (hardcover), [223] + ads. Near Fine in a Good, mylar protected dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: Doña Isabella, the heroine of this entertaining story, is a lady-in-waiting to Queen Anne, wife of Philip II of Spain. Like other young ladies of that olden time -- even the Queen herself -- Isabella is devoted to the fantastic romances of chivalry which were the fashion of the period. The famous Cervantes, Spain's great writer who in his story of Don Quixote "laughed chivalry out of fashion," is a prime factor. Isabella is cured of her romantic notions and the ingenious device by which this is done leads to some thrilling developments which make for delightful reading. The story is filled with interesting scenes, both at the luxurious Spanish court and in the wilder parts of Philip's kingdom which Isabella visits during a long journey on muleback. Dona Isabella's adventures, like the author's Doris Decides and The Scratches on the Glass, is a vivid, absorbing story, written in Gladys Blake's happiest vein.
