CHURCHILL, Winston S.
Savrola.
A Tale of the Revolution in Laurania.
First UK edition. This novel represents the author's only attempt at full-length fiction, a melodramatic tale of a liberal revolution in an autocratic Mediterranean state: the hero, Savrola, was a compound of himself and Lord Randolph. An interesting choice for a Sunday School library. The UK edition was delayed by the serialization of the story in Macmillan's Magazine between May and December 1899, so the US issue of November 1899 was actually published first.
Octavo, contemporary black cloth rebind, title gilt to the spine. Bookplate of Culcheth Sunday School Circulating Library to the front pastedown, occasional blind stamps to the text. A little rubbed, somewhat cocked, endpapers browned, marginal browning else, a sound copy.
