Maud: The Diaries of Maud Berkeley [Illustrated Diary of a Victorian Woman] by Maud Berkeley; Adapted by Flora Fraser; Introduction by Elizabeth Longford - 1985

London: Martin Secker & Warburg, 1985. Oversized hardcover with price clipped dust jacket, 192 pages including illustrations in many different styles and shades on every page; very elegant book in dark brown cloth with a brilliant raised gilt horizontal illustration on front cover with the full title in the same bright gilt, and equally very bright and clear gilt lettering on spine with a smaller vertical illustration, not a hint of shelf wear, overall very gently read, if at all, tight in binding, very clean and unmarked throughout; DJ has no flaws visible to my tired old eyes, now in new mylar/paper protector. [this copy priced low, priced to go to a good home as bookseller is nearing retirement, but extra S & H at cost will be requested] See also our listings for Longford's own The Royal House of Windsor, and her The Oxford Book of Royal Anecdotes, and for more Victoriana, our listing for The English Year: A Personal Selection from Chambers' Book of Days..
