The Queen of Seven Swords by G. K. Chesterton
Hardback, published December 1926, first edition, 50 pages.
A slim, rare volume in good condition, some signs of shelf-wear, fading to spine and spine-edge of boards. Gilt lettering on spine still visible and Chesterton's facsimile signature in gilt on front cover very clear. Bumped corners. Includes pamphlet from the Catholic Times in January 1927, just after publication of the book. Page edges display some browning and foxing but page surfaces generally clean with no underling, marginalia, etc.
