Everard de Vaumartin, at 14, prefers books to the code of chivalry, but when his uncle schemes to deprive him of his birthright by sending him unprepared into battle, he bids childhood farewell. Presumed dead at a battle, he hides his noble birth, makes his way to Paris to seek the life of a scholar, while preparing for the day when he can return in triumph and claim his family castle for his own. There is a touch of separation at the spine, but it is intact. There is a curve of black marker at the top pages near the spine, & a prior bookseller's note on the first title page. The pages are clean, crisp, and white, without writings or markings. Fine/New.
