Published on 11 April 1935 this book is well-known for giving in great detail the relationship between Paxton, The Duke of Devonshire and all those connected with them.

350 pages 14 b/w illustrations
This is an exceptionally rare book at any price and only very occasionally comes up for sale.
PLEASE NOTE: All the copies have been purchased from high-class antique book dealers and are therefore of good quality. Second hand books are however subject to the usual problems - light foxing and / or lightly stained pages, loose or missing spines and the page edges, etc may not be perfect. The pages are always fully secure. The best available copy of the book will always be sent.
The jacket is very rare and will be included if available otherwise a colour photocopy will be provided.
