London: Ward, Lock & Co, Limited, 1945 . 0. A very good reprint of the first edition in a very good dustwrapper ( not price clipped). pp.224 . Dustwrapper after a design by W. J.

No marks or previous ownership details. A nice clean copy. ** "Nigel Tranter OBE (23 November 1909 – 9 January 2000) was a Scottish historian and author. He was a prolific author of architectural and history books about castles, and also of deeply researched historical novels that cover centuries of Scottish history. Nigel Tranter wrote over 100 books. He is best known his Scottish historical novels and his five-volume work The Fortified House in Scotland, but he also produced many other novels, particularly early on in his career. Nigel Tranter identified some of his works as 'period pieces': fictional plots and characters fitting firmly within their historical context. This differs from 'costume dramas' (where the setting impinges little on the plotting or characterisation within the story) and 'serious historical fiction' in which the writer interprets real people and events (such as Tranter's own historical fiction)." - See Wikipedia .
