Far From the Madding Crowd
Smith, Elder, & Co., 1877.
New edition, first UK one volume edition. 8vo. Green cloth with gilt lettering on the spine and and decoration embossed in black. Six woodcut illustrations by Helen Paterson (later known as Helen Allingham). A very good copy indeed, minor rubs to the corners and slightly cocked. A bright and attractive copy.
Perhaps one of Hardy's most popular works, featuring the bold Bathsheba Everdene and her suitors.
