A collection of four historical novels, some of which you may have heard of, others of which may be new to you, but all of which once had their day in the sun, and are looking for another brief moment in the light before the next time-travel historical sensation pushes them even further into the shadows.

A couple of titles have a few condition issues, but neither pages nor words are falling out of any of them, so they all have good reads left in them -- but it wouldn't hurt t...
