The book: "With the Black Prince, published in 1898, is a rare first edition by William O. Stoddard. This historical novel is beautifully illustrated and brings to life the adventures of the Black Prince, a notable figure in medieval history.

Edward of Woodstock (15 June 1330 – 8 June 1376), known to history as the Black Prince, was the eldest son and heir apparent of King Edward III of England. He died before his father and so his son, Richard II, succeeded to the throne instead. Edward nevertheless earned distinction as one of the most successful English commanders during the Hundred Years' War, being regarded by his English contemporaries as a model of chivalry and one of the greatest knights of his age."
The author: William Osborn Stoddard (1835–1925) was an American journalist, inventor, and author of memoirs, novels, poetry, and children's books. He was known for serving in the White House as a private secretary to Abraham Lincoln.
