Sobre IBD

''Sir Devaux of Davington: A Rhyme in Four Epochs'' is a poetic work written by Douglas Thompson and published in 1856. The book tells the story of Sir Devaux, a knight from the village of Davington, and his adventures throughout four different time periods, or epochs. Each epoch represents a different era of history, including the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Victorian era. Through his travels, Sir Devaux encounters various historical figures and experiences the cultural and societal changes of each epoch. The book is written in rhyming verse and offers a unique perspective on history through the eyes of a fictional character.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
