1st edition, 1st impression [1946] (true first). Precedes the US edition published by Roy the following year. Produced in complete conformity with authorised, war economy, standards. Black cloth boards with gilt titles to spine (rounded at points, a few minor marks). Lending sheet on front free endpaper, no other library markings. Webbing visible between front endpapers, minor spotting. A good only copy of this hardish to find title in first edition with dust jacket. The successor historical novel to Royal Twilight, it parallels the plot of that almost too closely, with fancy finery and tales of court conspiracy and counter-plot. This time it's the court of demented, debauched Christian of Denmark, where Drury, an Englishman, is sent to protect the former English princess-now Queen Caroline Matilda, who is in love with Struensee, the king's physician. 12mo
