London: The Folio Society, 2014. Twelfth printing. Near Fine. The book is tight with solid hinges and clean illustrated boards. Top corners lightly bumped.

It is the authors' contention that "All the History you can remember is in the Book," and the majority of readers agree. But it is their own unique interpretation of events that has made the book a classic; an uproarious satire on textbook history and a population's confused recollections of it. Comprising "all the parts you can remember including 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings and 2 Genuine Dates."

"The Amateur Emigrant," an autobiographical account of Stevenson's voyage from Scotland to California in 1879, is a rich and provocative work of late-Victorian travel writing and cultural criticism. It describes vividly how Stevenson mixed with 'steerage' passengers aboard an Atlantic steamship and experienced the indignities of a transcontinental emigrant train.
"The Silverado Squatters" is Stevenson's travel memoir of his honeymoon in California's Napa Valley in 1880.… Read More

Rather than produce a standard biography, Gordon McVay has translated and edited a selection of letters from Anton Chekhov, which give a wide view of his interests and career development. Beginning in 1879, with Chekhov's studies in medical school in Moscow, McVay follows Chekhov's life and times through his final letter in June 1904, written on the day of his heart attack that would ultimately prove fatal.
