8vo, (216x135mm), iv,52p. large wood-engraving on the title. Some slight spotting. Contemporary half red morocco, paste paper sides, front joint neatly repaired. A nice reprint of a scarce work first printed in 1631, here with a handsome wood-engraving, in the 17th century manner, on the title. Although carrying Thomas Brewer's initials on the title, and signed Tho. Brewer on the final leaf, COPAC notes that the work is sometimes attributed to Anthony Brewer. This prose tale was probably suggested by the popularity of a play of the same name, but which did not cover quite the same ground and which some authorities suggest was written by Drayton and originally called Sir John Oldcastle. Please note that the advised postage is based on an average book, if necessary the postage will be reduced to the correct amount and you will be notified by email. Seller Inventory # 16073
