A great way to meet Mrs Behn, this slim Folio edition of these two fascinating tales is illustrated withwoodcuts by Iris Francis. A famous Restoration playwright, Mrs Behn was perhaps the first woman in England who wrote to make a living. These are novelettes, not plays. The tragic tale of Prince Oroonoko's enslavement is followed by the story of Miranda, a woman who is as devious, sexually aggressive, and envious of power as any man could ever be. This Folio Society edition is missing the slipcover. Blue marbled boards with black cloth spine. Some wear of cover. The Folio Society. 1953. USED. $40.00
