WITH CLIVE IN INDIA: (Boys Adventure Fiction)

This is a First Edition of the Foulsham Henty Library's publication of With Clive in India: The Beginnings of an Empire, written in 1884 by the English novelist and war correspondent George Henty (1832-1902). Henty popularized the genre of Juvenile Adventure Fiction--he was the first to write very successful books about war-time adventures for boys. Through the 1950s, the publisher W. Foulsham released the Foulsham Henty Library; in this book, the publisher states "this book has been carefully edited and slightly abridged to meet the reading tastes of the Modern Boy".

This copy is undated, but the original owner signed the corner of the front endpaper and dated it 1957.

Plain blue boards with gold lettering on the cover and spine. 224 pages of thick paper. One color illustration; otherwise unadorned.

This copy is a little dusty. It has an old book smell--not musty, but dusty. The pages are all clean and clear.
