Spine has been taped, but all pages still intact and in good reading order.

I have never seen this book anywhere else since purchasing it myself.

Set in Jerusalem 60 years after the death of Christ. Herod Agrippa, declared himself the messiah and fell critically ill, never to recover. Nero his cruel sucessor, took to burning Christians to illuminate his garden parties. A revolt against the Romans to liberate Jerusalem and the Holy Temple was led by the Jewish general, Simon.

Here in the staggering narrative scope of the great H. Rider Haggard - one of the true masters of exciting historical fiction - is the powerful story of Rome and Jerusalem at war for a city, a symbol, a cause and a prize.... The Pearl Maiden.

Just don't have room to keep it any longer.
