William Kirby's classic historical novel, The Golden Dog, with illustrations. An 1897 edition of this work in the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Top edge gilt. 10 plates including the frontispiece. Collated complete. The Golden Dog (Le Chien d'Or) was a novel by William Kirby (1817–1906) that was written between April 1869 and 1872, with further revisions up to 1876. This novel is based upon three works by James MacPherson Le Moine: The Golden Dog, Château Bigot and La Corriveau. It draws upon the historical background of the city of Quebec for its characters, and tells its story through two intertwining plot lines. The first is of the Lady Angélique de Méloizes, Madame De Péan, while the second is of Colonel Pierre Philibert, the son of a prosperous merchant. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Externally very smart, with just a couple of small faint marks to the front board and the spine. Spine has slightly darkened but otherwise colour is good and gilt is bright. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, apart from the odd spot to the plates and the leaves surrounding the plates, and some offsetting to the paste downs and free end papers. Very Good Indeed.
