Published by Henry Frowde for Oxford University Press, the book is richly illustrated with fifteen black-and-white engravings that bring this legendary tale of Anglo-Saxon resistance to life. Kingsley's gripping narrative follows the life of Hereward, an exiled English nobleman who returns to lead the last stand against the Norman conquest, becoming a symbol of courage and national pride. The story is romantic, patriotic, and full of dramatic scenes that reflect the Victorian fascination with heroism and identity. The binding is a true work of art, crafted in full tree calf leather that has been treated to mimic the appearance of a tree with natural grain and swirling patterns. The spine features intricate gilt tooling with raised bands and twin title labels, while the board edges are finished with fine gilt borders. Inside, the marbled endpapers and matching marbled edges create a luxurious and cohesive design. This volume is a showpiece that will appeal to collectors of fine press books, English history, and literary works that carry both visual beauty and historical weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Author | Charles Kingsley [d]Title | Hereward the Wake: Last of the English [d]Publisher | Henry Frowde, Oxford University Press [d]Date | 1912 [d]Binding | Full tree calf leather with raised bands, twin spine labels, and gilt tooling [d]Dimensions | 7.5 in H x 5 in W x 1 in D [d]Language | English [d]Origin | England [d]Edition | 1912 illustrated edition [d]Features | Marbled endpapers, marbled edges [d]Pages | 15 black and white engraved illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[condition] The full tree calf binding is sturdy and visually striking, with deep rich patterning and bright gilt details on the spine and board edges.
