SAVROLA: A Tale of the Revolution in Laurania by Winston Spencer Churchill soon to be presented for sale on the top-quality BookLovers of Bath web site!
Published: London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1900, Hardcover (Original Cloth).
From the cover: Set in an imaginary Ruritanian-type country, this novel is a fast-moving story of romance and revolution, but its abiding interest lies in the light that it sheds on the writers outlook on life at the age of 23. It is the only novel Churchill wrote.
