Sobre este artículo
New York: E. P. Dutton & Co Inc. 1934. Hardcover. First US edition. Green cloth with black spine lettering/rule, 201 pages, illustrated, index and key partly unopened.
"This is the story of the life of Charles II, England's favourite king, of his exile, his triumphant return and the golden years of his reign.We meet the king, attending affairs of state, with ladies at either arm; we go 'wenching' with his courtiers; excitedly follow him, disguised, working in servants' halls up and down the land, and hiding in the famous oak tree. And meet the artless, charming Nell – orange-seller, actress, companion to the famous and mistress to the merry monarch.
'Old Rowley' had a full life, but Dennis Wheatley has missed nothing. He is a master in the art of evoking atmosphere and is at his brilliant best in this fascinating biography."
Very good with edge wear, dust soiling to page edges, light toning and minor foxing to endpapers, in poor jacket with a large chip to the lower front panel, chipping to upper front panel and around spine head, and to top corner rear panel, with overall wear, creasing and rubbing. bx7E

Sobre biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
