Spine lightly faded. Slight intermittent foxing. A near fine copy. Margaret Roberts (1833-1919) was a linguist, novelist, and children's writer who was born in Wales. For the majority of her life, she lived in different countries including Italy and France. She wrote over thirty works, most of them thoroughly researched historical novels, some of which were for children. Published anonymously, her first novel for adults was Mademoiselle Mori (1860); Roberts researched it at the Vatican library and wrote it in Italian, though it was eventually translated to English. Some of her more popular books include Denise (1863) and On the Edge of the Storm (1868). Later in her career, Roberts focused on composing works for younger readers, such as Stephanie's Children (1896), about a young lady in Revolutionary France.

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
