This group includes Volume VII: A Tale of a Lonely Parish, Volume VIII: Paul Patoff, and Volume IX: Love in Idleness: A Tale of Bar Harbor / Marion Darche: A Story Without Comment.

These works represent late-19th-century fiction by American novelist F. Marion Crawford, whose novels frequently explore society, relationships, travel, and European and American settings. Each volume includes a black-and-white illustrated frontispiece and an attractive decorative title page with ornamental border and the P. F. Collier publisher’s device.

The books are bound in matching brown cloth with faded gilt spine lettering and red decorative ornamentation. They are in overall Good condition for their age, with noticeable rubbing, fading, discoloration, soiling, and wear to the cloth bindings and spine ends. The spine lettering and decorative elements are significantly faded. The volume numbers 7, 8, and 9 have been handwritten in ink on the lower portions of the spines. Interior pages show age toning along with scattered foxing and staining, particularly around the frontispieces, title pages, and margins. No dust jackets are present.

This is a consecutive three-volume grouping comprising Volumes 7, 8, and 9 of the 32-volume Authorized Edition, not the complete collection.
