First published in 1926 and never before issued in paperback, Adventures of Monsieur de Mailly is a humorous adventure set in the France of Louis XIV. Possibly the lightest and least fantastical of David Lindsay's novels, this romp through the realm of the Sun King nevertheless contains moments of high tragedy and tantalising glimpses of Lindsay's fascinating philosophy. An exciting adventure in its own right this is a book no Lindsay devotee should be without.
