WHEN CHRIST AND HIS SAINTS SLEPT by SHARON KAY PENMAN
Eleanor of Aquitaine series, book 1
Henry I is dead, and even as the bells toll, his barons confer edgily. Bound by oath, they must now deal with the King's only surviving legitimate issue: the handsome, intelligent, and commanding Maude, Henry's daughter and heir. Just as Maude reaches for the crown, her trusted cousin Stephen moves with treacherous speed to set himself up as king. Bound and determined, Maude sets sail for England—and for war. In this novel, Sharon Kay Penman brings to life a dark period in English history, painting a canvas rich in the color and textures of the era. Click on More Details to read an excerpt!

Jacket price $25.00
Black grosgrain ribbon still attached to spine
Spine/binding is still good and stiff but not quite like new; spine is not bowed or tilted. No writing or dirt.
Jacket colors still bold and brilliant. My personal copy of this book is a later print, and the colors on this first print look much richer than mine.
See photos for extras features.
Flaws: Jacket has a small puncture on the back near the spine. The top of the jacket also shows some edgewear
