This first edition of the popular Angelique series has been kept in great condition for near 70 years. The book has the original imprinted fleur de leys on the spine, an indicator of it being a first edition from 1956.
After the first Angelique book was published in Germany in 1956, Anne Golon's agency in Paris decided that, for the French edition, having a woman's name on the cover was not good for marketing. When will the woman be free to express her opinion and tell her story? What other changes were made between the original first copy and the others? The true original story had been lost...until now. Only the select few who have read this first German edition will have the full grasp of the novel and rekindle the empowerment and all it has to offer. Erste Auflage means first edition in German. Book is in good condition with minor wear on bottom of spine.
