PRINCE, PETER - Adam Runaway
London, Bloomsbury. 2005, First. (ISBN: 9780747578765). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Near Fine unmarked copy which has a few marks to top edge with Fine dustjacket which is not price-clipped. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. 1721. George I is on the throne and Britain is just emerging as the world's leading commercial power. Handsome young Adam Hanaway arrives in Lisbon, where his uncle is a merchant, hoping to restore the family fortune, devastated the previous year by his father's speculations on the South Sea Bubble. But almost nothing turns out as Adam planned. His family's welcome is cool and his rise to the top thwarted by his uncle's treacherous head clerk Bartolomeu Gomes. Nor is Adam, with his gaudy clothes and his young-man swagger, an immediate success with his uncle's fellow merchants. Expelled from his uncle's firm, Adam must clear his name, win his love, and make his fortune. D4C. Near Fine/Fine.
