What Our Customers Say...

Description

Original Binding

In two volumes complete. First published in 1749, Tom Jones is among the earliest English prose works describable as a novel. The novel, with 346,747 words, is divided into 18 smaller books, each preceded by a discursive chapter, often on topics totally unrelated to the book itself. Henry Fielding (1707 - 1754) was an English novelist and dramatist known for his rich earthy humour and satirical prowess. From Macmillan's Library of English Classics, with advertisement to rear of volume two.

Condition

In cloth bindings. Externally, generally smart but with slight bumping and wear to extremities and odd rubbing and marks to boards. Internally, firmly bound. Bright and generally clean but with handling marks to text block edges and slight foxing to endpapers.
