Mistress Nell: A Merry Tale of a Merry Time ('Twixt Fact and Fancy)

viii, 311 pp. Gilt titles and decor on spine and front board. Deckled edges. Inspiration for 1915 silent film starring Mary Pickford. EXCERPT: King's wit, and at the players' wit. There were those in abundance to enjoy to-day - to-day only, - to drink to the glorious joys of today, with no care for the morrow.
