What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
A striking edition of the prayers of Robert Louis Stevenson, written at Vailima, a village in the capital of Samoa, known for being the location of the last residence of the beloved Scottish author of Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. These prayers originally appeared in 1904.
The present copy is the fourth impression of the prayers to be fully reproduced in colours and gold after the original illuminated drawings by Alberto Sangorski. A stunning volume.
