Printing Details
Early English edition. Hardback, bound in the original cloth with paper title label to spine. 16.5 × 10.5cm, 158pp + 64pp + 16pp ads.
A good example of mid-Victorian publishing from Lambert’s 'Amusing Library.' These two stories by the 'Flemish Walter Scott' were among the first pieces of Belgian literature to reach an English audience.
Two works in one volume from this important Belgian author. The Miser was first published as De Gierigaerd in 1852, and Ricketicketack (first published as Rikke-tikke-tak as a serial 1845; and as a book, 1851).
Condition
This copy is in good condition for age. There is some fading and dulling to the covers but the book remains in strong readable condition. The inner binding is pulled a little in places but remains secure.
