Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. Edward Bawden (illustrator). Reprint. Minor edge and corner wear, lightly scuffed and scratched, spine is lightly creased, some shelf wear, ex-library with the usual library markings, overall a nice used copy! White wrappers with maroon lettering. 338 adventure-filled and magical pages nicely enhanced by black and white illustrations! "In one of those bright racy essays at which modern dulness delights to sneer, Hazlitt discussed the question whether the desire of posthumous fame is a legitimate aspiration; and the conclusion at which he arrived was that there is 'something of egotism and even of pedantry in this sentiment.' It is a true saying in literature as in morality that 'he that seeketh his life shall lose it.'." ---- from the Introduction.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Robert Paltock (1697- March 20, 1767) was an English novelist and attorney. His most famous work is The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins, a Cornish Man (1751). He became an attorney and lived for some time in Clement's Inn. He then moved, before 1759, to Back Lane, Lambeth. He married Anna Skinner, through whom his son, also named Robert, inherited a small property at Ryme Intrinseca, Dorset. The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins is somewhat on the same plan as Robinson Crusoe, the special feature being the gawry, or flying woman, whom hero discovered on his island, and married. John W. Cousin, author of A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
