Description
Francis Leslie Ashton. Two Novels, including: The Breaking of the Seals. London: Andrew Dakers Limited, [1946]. First published 1946. Octavo. 317 pages. Publisher's brown cloth covers with the spine lettered in gilt. Illustrated dust jacket. Some rubbing to the covers and jacket, slightly bumped corners, a small tear to the head of the jacket spine, some wrinkling to the head and foot of the jacket spine, sunned jacket spine. Altogether a very good copy. The author's first novel, it is a romantic and adventurous trip back in time which opens the protagonist to an era of tumultuous world destruction, and upon his return to the present world he finds his love he encountered in the past world reincarnated as a princess. [and:] Alas, That Great City. London: Andrew Dakers Limited, [1948]. Octavo. 395 pages. Publisher's bright blue cloth covers with the spine lettered in gilt. Illustrated dust jacket. Some rubbing to the covers and jacket, very minor bumping to the corners, very light soiling to the back of the jacket, a few tiny closed tears to the head of the jacket spine. Altogether a very good copy. This work follows Francis Ashton's first, and utilizes the same cosmology in which the Moon was once a planet, but became the Earth's satellite 13,000 years ago, an event which forced the submergence of Atlantis, a wicked city. This book details the fall of the great city through the eyes of Larentzal.Auction Info
