Black Arrow a Tale of Two Roses Junior Deluxe Edition

Hardcover (NELSON DOUBLEDAY INC Sept. 3, 1954)
This is a book from the Junior Deluxe Editions series published between 1947 and 1968 by mainly Nelson Doubleday Inc. and J.P. Lippincott Co. All of the illustrations are done by different illustrators. This book, THE BLACK ARROW, is a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1984), first published in 1888. It is both an historical adventure novel and a romance novel. The Black Arrow tells the story of Richard (Dick) Shelton during the Wars of the Roses: how he becomes a knight, rescues his lady Joanna Sedley, and obtains justice for the murder of his father, Sir Harry Shelton. Outlaws in Tunstall Forest organized by Ellis Duckworth, whose weapon and calling card is a black arrow, cause Dick to suspect that his guardian Sir Daniel Brackley and his retainers are responsible for his father's murder. Dick's suspicions are enough to turn Sir Daniel against him, so he has no recourse but to escape from Sir Daniel and join the outlaws of the Black Arrow against him. This struggle sweeps him up into the greater conflict surrounding them all. This Junior Deluxe Edition book was illustrated by Lawrence Beall Smith (1909-1989), a premier American painter, sculptor, lithographer and illustrator of the twentieth century. Smith began exhibiting his art in 1935 and gained a strong national reputation by 1941 when a one-man exhibition of his art was launched at the Whitney Museum in New York. During World War II he created posters for the war effort and was an artist for the D-Day landings in Normandy.
