For the book-lover … a delightful pocket edition (1925 Macmillan, London) of Thomas Hardy’s “Far From the Madding Crowd.” In very good vintage condition, with gilt lettering and design on the spine and cover and a firm binding. The inside front page is inscribed “Frank, from Dorothea - Jan 1928” and also includes a poem written in tribute to the author (from a newspaper of the time), adding a charming personal touch. This is an attractive copy of a classic novel that would make a memorable gift.
"Far from the Madding Crowd" tells the story of the independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene as she navigates love, loyalty, and the trials of rural life in 19th-century England. Set in the fictional Wessex countryside, the novel weaves themes of romance, heartbreak, and resilience, centered around Bathsheba’s entanglements with three very different suitors: the steadfast Gabriel Oak, the dashing Sergeant Troy, and the wealthy yet brooding Farmer Boldwood.
