Madame Malls de Beaulieu — Le Robinson de Douze Ans

Paris, P.C. Lehuby, 1833. Leather. A charmingly illustrated edition of this French retelling of 'Robinson Crusoe&apos. The eleventh edition thus. 'Robinson Crusoe' has a legacy unlike any other work, having forged a genre of its own and inspired countless copycat books starring castaways on desert islands, such as 'Swiss Family Robinson', 'Lord of the Flies' and Jules Verne's 'Mysterious Island&apos. Allegedly, the only book more widely translated than this is the Bible. Written by Madame Malles De Beaulieu.In the French language.Featuring wonderfully illustrated plates throughout. In a half calf binding. Externally worn, with loss to the spine and extremities, as well as the odd mark to the boards. Hinges tender but still reasonably firm. Ink inscriptions on front pastedown. Internally, generally firmly bound, though strained in places. A little foxed throughout. Various annotations. Good Only . Ill.: Not Stated. Good Only .
