Item description from seller

The Autograph Edition, number 632 of 750 sets signed by the author on a special leaf in the first volume. This attractively bound, complete set includes Sabatini's famous historical adventures Captain Blood (1922), Scaramouche (1921), and The Sea Hawk (1915). The pleasing illustrations are by Charles Edmund Brock (1870-1938), who is particularly well-regarded for his illustrated editions of period books. Sabatini (1875-1950) reached a worldwide audience via both his swashbuckling novels and their early film adaptations. His "greatest gift was the ability to bring the past to life in vivid and convincing colours, and to enthuse millions of readers with his own love of history" (ODNB). 34 vols, octavo. With numerous plates, with captioned tissue guards, after drawings by Charles E. Brock. Attractively bound in recent burgundy half morocco, titles and decoration to spine, burgundy cloth boards, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt, others untrimmed. An excellent set.
