Nicholas Cooke - first US edition

by Stephanie Cowell

Born into the cathedral town of Canterbury in the last years of the 16th century, young Nicholas Cooke is brilliant and curious. By the age of 13, his father is hanged for thievery, his mother spends her days wandering as a prostitute, and Nicholas is expelled from school for brawling, and made to apprentice to a craftsman ... not his cup of tea. The year is 1593. So, knocking about the streets of London, young Nick meets up with Kit Marley, Will Shagspere, John Heminges, and many others from the Globe Theatre.

Book has blue boards with maroon cloth spine, nicely illustrated maps on the endpapers help orient the reader in London of the 1590's. Book is clean inside and out. 

Jacket is price intact at $24.00; in mylar.
