The Lost King

A reprint edition of an adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini. This is the author's imagined story of Louis XVII, the real-life lost Dauphin of France. Sabatini imagines that the dauphin was able to escape imprisonment and find refuge in Switzerland. The Italian-born Sabatini lived most of his adult life in Britain. He was fluent in numerous languages, but chose to write in English because, as he said (per Wikipedia), "all the best stories are written in English." --- In full purple cloth-covered boards with cover & spine decorations in blind, spine titling & horizontal rules in gilt. Volume lacks a dust jacket. --- With missing half title page, mild cover scuffing and rounded cover corners, otherwise a sound, tightly-bound copy.; 12mo - 7 to 7-1/2 in. tall; iv, 379 pages
