Beschreibung

2007, 1st. Signed by the author. Plus, loosely inserted at rear are a series of photographs from the book launch at Carlisle Cathedral in 2007, depicting the author and members of the Aglionby family. Quarto. 272pp. Illustrated. Publisher's cloth, gilt title to spine. In the pictorial dust jacket. Generally clean and bright. A 'Near Fine' copy. The jacket blurb reads as follows: The Aglionbys owed their importance to the fact that they became, and remained for nine hundred years, a solid abiding presence in the squirearchy of Cumberland. Readers of this book will encounter acts of violence and even murder, civil war in both England and America, a bizarre late sixteenth century plot to occupy the island of Malta, an eighteenth century ne'er-do-well taking refuge on the Isle of Man, and strenuous missionary endeavour in the early twentieth century Gold Coast.
