A very attractive early imprint of MacDonald's "Malcom," with his MacDonald's own personal library woodcut bookplate neatly affixed to the pastedown. What a little treasure. 

"Malcolm, first published in 1875, is unique among MacDonald’s novels, in that its setting-and consequently its language savours more than any other of his native northeast of Scotland. It also features his most carefully constructed plot (centring around the identity of his young fisherman-hero) and one of his most colourful casts of characters. Since the entire tale unfolds in the small coastal village of “Portlossie,” the author has been able to create, at least for the non-Scottish reader, the feeling of a world set apart: but the sheer grandeur of the tale, its deep-laid plots, and its deeper humanity and truth, will have an appeal not merely local but universal."
