Cabell, James Branch, and Howard Pyle (ill.)

Chivalry

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1909. 6" x 9" pp. vi, [6], 223, [1], includes frontispiece and 11 color plates. Decorated red cloth boards with gold stamping are clean, slightly rubbed, with a few minor scuffs to corners and front cover. Text and plates are bright and crisp. Good to very good.

Cabell's take on historical fiction, Chivalry features a collection of tales, set in 15th century England and France, that display the true "chivalric virtue" that romantically characterizes this era. Item #2487
