The King's General.
London: Victor Gollancz, 1946. [Historical Fiction] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.298 [1], Acknowledgements; [1], blank. Publisher's green cloth with gilt titles to spine. With the distinctive yellow Gollancz dust-jacket, priced at 9/6. Some dustiness, usual toning to jacket; very good. Inspired by a grisly discovery in the nineteenth century, 'The King's General' was the first of du Maurier's novels to be written at Menabilly, the model for Manderley in 'Rebecca'. Set in the seventeenth century, it tells the story of a country and a family riven by war, and features one of fiction's most original heroines in Honor Harris. Item #60136
