Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, spine of largely orange jacket very slightly faded, corners slightly rubbed and bruised, some slight spotting to page fore edges, not price clipped (18s),no inscriptions, internally clean tight and almost square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 335pp. The series that inspired George R.R. Martin's epic work 'Game of Thrones'. Charles IV is now king of France and his sister is Edward II of England's Queen. Having been imprisoned by Edward as leader of the rebellious English barons, Roger Mortimer escapes to France, where he joins the war against the English in Aquitaine. But it is his love affair with Isabella, the 'She-Wolf of France', who has come seemingly to negotiate a treaty of peace that seals his fate. French jewish historical novelist Maurice Druon (1918-2009), was a member of the Academie Française, of which he served as chairman between 1985 and 1999. Quite a scarce book.
