    Description

    Illustrated, Leather Binding, Rebound

    Sir Jean Froissart's tale of the Hundred Years' War was originally written in French in the fourteenth century, opening with the events leading up to the deposition of Edward II in 1326 and concluding in 1400. This work was a successful and popular, extensive account of the events in Europe, with particular focus on France, England, and Spain. 

    The present copy is a later edition, retold for a juvenile audience, edited and abridged by Sidney Lanier and enriched with illustrations by Alfred Kappes.
