About this Item

Purple cloth. 12mo. 337pp plus ads. First edition of this book purported to be a "newly discovered" manuscript diary kept by Jane Grey's younger sister, Mary Grey but which is actually a Victorian literary hoax written by Flora Francis Wylde. The "diary" gives an insight into the Grey sisters' life at Bradgate and the strict manner in which they were brought up as well as a personal account of Jane's last days in the Tower. A good copy with some rubbing to the cloth and with some wear to the spine tips and cover corners. The text is very good with some light soiling and wear. The front hinge is cracked but holding.
