What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding, Signed Binding
In the original French. In a signed binding by Birdsall and Son. Andre Theuriet gives natural, simple pictures of rustic and especially of woodland life, and Theophile Gautier compared him to Jacques in the forest of Arden. The best of his novels are those that deal with provincial and country life. Theuriet received in 1890 the prix Vitet from the French Academy, of which he became a member in 1896.
Condition
In half-morocco binding with marbled boards. Externally sound, though slightly rubbed. Neat ink signature to recto of front free-endpaper, dated 1890. Front endpapers are detached. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned and clean.
Very Good
