This rare historical novel explores faith and resilience during the Elizabethan era. The volume features a beautiful deep blue cloth binding decorated with crisp blind stamped geometric borders and an elegant, bright gold gilt Irish harp emblem inside a clover wreath on the front cover. The book is in good antique condition. The cloth binding remains strong and structurally secure with tight internal hinges and clean spine text gilding. The interior pages are a little loose in front, and are clean and free of heavy foxing, displaying light natural age toning throughout. The front endpapers feature a charming vintage Sunday School award bookplate from St. Dominics Sunday School in Washington, D.C. assigned to Raymond Vanover.
