    Description

    Fine Binding, Leather Binding, Scarce, Signed Binding

    The scarce two volume 1881 'Eversley Edition' of Charles Kingsley's historical adventure novel concerning the Anglo-Saxon resistance to the Norman Conquest. In lovely half morocco signed bindings from Bickers and Son.

    Kingsley's novel follows the historical Anglo-Saxon figure Hereward as he leads the resistance against the Normans from a base in Ely. First published in 1866, this was Kingsley's final historical novel, and was instrumental in elevating Hereward into an English folk-hero.
