R S Surtees Society, Craddock 1986 Facsimile Edition 406pp plus prelims. Illustrated Hardback. Robert Smith Surtees (born May 17, 1805, The Riding, Northumberland, died March 16, 1864, Brighton, Sussex) English novelist. Passionately addicted to riding to hounds from his youth, Surtees devoted nearly all his writings to horses and riding. In 1831 he launched New Sporting Magazine. His famous comic character Mr. Jorrocks, a blunt Cockney grocer entirely given over to fox hunting, appeared in Jorrocks's Jaunts and Jollities (1838), Handley Cross (1843), and Hillingdon Hall (1845). Among his other novels, which also portray the boredom, ill manners, discomfort, and coarse food of English provincial life, are Hawbuck Grange (1847) and Mr. Facey Romford's Hounds (1865). All his novels were originally published in serial form in magazines such as 'Punch' anonymously at first. This copy, a facsimile of the original, is prepared by the R S Surtees Society, with a specially commissioned introduction, is in MINT condition with no inscriptions, markings or marginalia. Bound in red skivertex boards with blind stamping borders front and rear and gilt titling and decoration to the front and spine. The stock is bright and tight . The book is encased in a gold paper covered board slipcase which is also in MINT condition. This is just one of eight Surtees Titles I am selling on this site. Ref O7 Size: 406pp + Prelims.
