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.

Colour illustrations. 351 pages including index. ISBN: 9780750955621. A lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper has a barcode label with old price to rear panel.
