Seller's Description:
Fair. Hooper Clarke 1890 University Edition Heavy wear to 3/4 leather binding with decorative boards and end papers. Both decorative end papers are detached and laid inside. Illsutrated frontispiece of Doyle is bright cover by tissue from publisher. The solid page block is attached at back hinge with only a few threads but holding. Pages are unmarked but a little tanned from age. no date, date is approximate. 362 pages. Reprint. In plastic bag to keep it all together.
Beautifully bound and illustrated, Doyle immersed himself in archaic English and French and delivers in this fascinating adventure about one of the Crusades. I must add that what he delivers is a bit of a muddle for 21st Century readers -- so many names of official positions in Middle English and French -- the names of foods, places, past-times -- though they lend tremendous flavor to the narrative, are maddening in that they require continual sorting out, or looking up in the dictionary or online. Still, the heroes journey has a sweep that is irresistible.

Great book!
One of my new all-time favorites! I wasn't sure if I would like it, but as a medieval history major, I love historical fiction and non-fiction. VERY entertaining and witty. Some of Sir Nigel's dialogue had me laughing out loud.
