A rare and collectable book, published in 1911. Overall in very good condition with a tight binding. There is some foxing on a few of the pages and slight bumping to the edges of the cover.As adventures are to the adventurous, so is romance to the romantic. One man searching the pages of Whiteley\'s General Catalogue will find only facts and prices; another will find what we think we have found - a deeply moving human drama. The book comes as presented with gilt writing on the spine. There is a pencilled inscription on the inside front page which says \'W A Gordon\'. The book has numerous black & white illustrations.
