Quarto. xi, (i), 268pp. Five full-page color illustrations by Savage. Ashbee sets up the text as an archival project, drawn from various papers relating to a family and their Peckover home at Abbotscourt; this framing is ultimately a literary device, adding a sense of historical scale and veracity to Ashbee's tale of eastward travel, the Crusades, and the West's orientalist sense of the East. Bound in quarter vellum with patterned papers over boards. Mild rubs to corners, trace soiling, else a near fine copy.
