194pp plus prelims. Indexed. Illustrated with line drawings. Pictorial DJ, complete, mildly worn and rubbed at edges, now in archival clear protective sleeve. Pale blue cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering to spine, a little soiled on edges, spine sunned. Internally bright, crisp and clean barring mild spotting on endpapers. Square, neat, robust volume. Renault was one of the most engaging historical writers of her generation and in this volume, especially written for younger readers, she brings to life the enthralling story of the Persian Wars and the epic battles of Marathon, Thermopylaea and Salamis.
