JAMES I: SCOTLAND'S KING OF ENGLAND
Written by John Matusiak.
Stock no. 1829642
1st.
2015.
Hardback.
Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.
Few kings have been more svagely caricatured or grossly misunderstood than England's first Stuart. Yet, as this biography demonstrates, the modern tendency to downplay his defects and minimise the long-term consequences of his reign has gone too far. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour illustrations. 351 pages including index. ISBN: 9780750955621. A lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper has a barcode label with old price to rear panel.
