Paperback, Second Edition, 575gms, 320 pages. Sir Walter Ralegh was more, much more than Elizabeth 1st's courtier portrayed in the painting; he was truly the Elizabethan incarnate- soldier, sailor, captain of the Queen's guard, explorer and colonizer of the New World, poet, scientist, military engineer and literary patron. Book is in good condition with minor general wear and tear, otherwise no other pre-loved markings.
