About the Item
A very pleasing set of thirty-seven volumes in uniform leather bindings of the works of Edward Bulwer-Lytton.
The works of Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a stunning collection in thirty-seven novels handsomely leather-bound in half calf over marbled boards. A famous writer and politician, Lord Lytton coined famous phrases such as "the great unwashed," "the pen is mightier than the sword," "dweller on the threshold," and the opening phrase "it was a dark and stormy night."
