Slight separation of front cover paper to spine, holding. Some bumping and scuffing to covers, age-related staining. Previous owner inscription to front cover, pages complete, some minor staining. Slight rubbing and bumping to page ends. Overall a nice book and a classic novel of its time.Something is wrong in Danesbury House. Its walls are sturdy, its interior is well appointed, yet the ground it is built upon is soaked in alcohol. This 1860 award-winning novel traces forty years of addictions, insanity, forgery, and death--hardly the typical Victorian fare. Yet this is no typical novel. A best seller upon its publication, Danesbury House became the Valley of the Dolls for Victorian readers. Its sensational subject and description of addictions made it one of the most popular temperance novels of all time.Publisher; Collins Clear Press – LondonPublished; Circa 1910Pages; 304Format; Soft coverIllustrations; Sydney CowellThis book is from our pre ISBN stock and is therefore over 50 years old.
