Very Good Condition, some edge and shelf wear, a little rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, no inscriptions, minor crumpling to bottom fore edge (see photographs)

“From the moment she set foot in Oxford, to stay with her grandfather (Warden of Judas), the lovely Zuleika played havoc with the undergraduates – and with none more than the Duke of Dorset, a character whom Ouida would have been pleased to invent.  Max Beerbohm called this delicious novel of his ‘An Oxford Love Story’, and for fifty years it has delighted successive generations by its elegance and wit.”
