Winner of the Westminster Award for Fiction. From the front flap: "This is a story of fifteenth century England, in an era of adventure and intrigue, when many a lord and prelate ruled his manor by whim and fancy rather than by right and God...when the common man's slaving earned him nothing, and serfs met in secret to plot and to plan." This copy signed by L'Ami at top of front end paper. Olive cloth w/green decoration to front cover, green spine lettering, 302 pages, dust jacket illustration by Nathan Berman. Mild slant, moderately worn corners/spine ends, dusty/tanned/lightly soiled top edge, in price-clipped dust jacket w/chipping, tears, soil. Jacket now in a mylar sleeve which, while it doesn't fix any of the flaws, spruces it up nicely.
