The Old Priory
Doubleday and Company, 1982. first American edition. hardcover. 8vo 234pp. from front flap: "Few men have had to consider such an arrangement; fewer still could have ignored such a reward. Thus--dangerously, secretly--a handsome young sailor with chestnut colored hair responds to the urgent appeals of an unlikely siren beckoning him to a room somewhere in Suffolk, in the England of 1590. There, in exchange for an enormous sum of gold, he obliges a beautiful, recently widowed lady in the begetting of an heir whose birth will ensure the retention of her title and high station in life." very good: crease in spine, some toning to text block edges. corners sharp, binding tight, text clean. / very good: age and edge wear, NOT price clipped ($13.95).
