The first in Stokes' Bijou Series. ¶ First American edition, contemporaneous with the London edition. This begins as an unremarkable light romance of the period, until the question of colour intrudes: the young woman throws over her impecunious fiance to marry a rich African prince, brought up in England and 'University' educated. Towards the end we seem to be heading into a crime thriller and we finish with satisfying tragedy. AUD 75.00 [Appr.: EURO 46.5 US$ 50.56 | £UK 38.75 | JP¥ 7545] Book number 8607is offered by:
