Description: I think I've decided that I'm going to work with the book itself--the narrative and, in these preliminary pages, the biographical material of the writer (that's her on the left: Willa Gibbs). The book came with the original jacket, complete with the art that screams "1950s historical romance" so I've incorporated it here on page (ii). That, my friends, is "Jeanne of France, " the "lovely, tragic heroine." The slipcover talked a little bit about our author's process, so I included that here as well.
