The blue boards are lightly shelf stained; the title on the spine has faded, the head of the spine bumped and its tail suffers from a short tear. Internally the book is clean, unmarked and solid. The book offers no date, 1936 is taken from Trove."Ethel Boileau, a daughter of an English clergyman, was a novelist who published 11 books in the 1920s and 1930s, then one more in 1947. Her most famous work was Clansmen (1936), a historical novel of a Scottish family struggling to maintain their ancestral estate from just after the Jacobite rising of 1745 to modern times."
