SIGNED BY JO WALTON on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise very minimal wear; A tale of love, money, and family conflict - among dragons. A family deals with the death of the their father. A son goes to court for his inheritance. Another son agonizes over his father's death-bed confession. One daughter becomes involved in the abolition movement, while another sacrifices herself for her husband. And everyone in the tale is a dragon, red in tooth and claw. Here is a world of politics and train stations, of churchmen and family retainers, of courtship and country houses...in which, on the death of an elder, family members gather to eat the body of the deceased. In which the great and the good avail themselves of the privilege of killing and eating the weaker children, which they do with ceremony and relish, thereby growing stronger.
