Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Jane Porter (1775 - 1850) was an English historical novelist, dramatist and literary figure. One of her bestselling novels, The Scottish Chiefs (1810) is remembered as one of the earliest historical novels in a modern style and among the first to become a bestseller. This novel was edited and abridged by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora A. Smith for the youngsters of 1910 so the story could remain relevant and popular well into the twentieth century. Stories and memories of heroes were needed in those times and are still needed in the 21st century of today. This 1921 copyrighted version included 15 full page color illustrations by N. C. Wyeth, 9 interspersed throughout the story, a frontis page, all end-pages and an illustration pasted on the front cover. All are present in this copy. xviii + 504pp. + 9 plates bound in. Hardcover has black cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine and a full page, full color illustration pasted on front cover, but no dust jacket. Interior is complete, tight, clean, and unmarked except for ownership in front of book. Book was always privately owned by one person through their lifetime. Started with inscription as 1943 Christmas gift, "to Bobby from Daddy" in front free end-paper, rubber stamped Bob somewhat later, finally a hand written signature on reverse of title page. Never completely read since some folded bound pages have never been separated. Copyright 1921. This copy was printed in 1941 since that date is found on front of title page. It is a safe assumption this copy was from a print-run on or after the 5th since the 5th print-run surely occurred earlier in the 20 years after the 1921 copyright date than 1941.
