Description

The Return of the Native is a leather-bound book with gold gilt pages and is an excellent addition to your vintage Thomas Hardy collection or Easton Press

When Clym Yeobright returns home from Paris, Eustacia Vye sees him as her escape from small-town life. This is Thomas Hardy’s searing novel of the destructive power of illusion.

The Return of the Native first appeared in the magazine Belgravia, a publication known for its sensationalism, and was presented in twelve monthly installments from January to December 1878.

Because of the novel's controversial themes, Hardy had some difficulty finding a publisher; reviews, however, though somewhat mixed, but generally positive.

A truly, gorgeously handsome volume, designed to become an heirloom, in collectible and gift condition.

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
