The Scarlet Pimpernel - later UK edition

by Baroness Orczy

A very nice old copy of the classic tale of the British spy hiding in plain sight by playing the dandy, during revolutionary Franc, by the Baroness herself! 

The book has pumpkin-orange boards with red lettering on spine and front board. Clean exterior, dusty top edge, inscribed on ' ... Xmas 1935' otherwise clean interior, no significant bumps, eight full-page black-and-white illustrations, paper browning, top edge inked now dusty. Very good condition, very nice old reading copy.

The dust wrapper shows some very minor edge loss at the spine top, some wear at folds, otherwise intact. No spine sunning. Near fine condition for its age. Classic period wrapper.
