The Golden Arrow

The Golden Arrow by Mary Webb is a vintage literary novel with strong appeal for readers of early twentieth-century fiction, rural writing, and collectible illustrated editions. Illustrated by Norman Hepple and featuring an introduction by G. K. Chesterton, this edition brings together Webb’s lyrical storytelling with added artistic and literary interest.
