The marbled endpapers, the all-edges gilt, the school crest pressed into the upper board: every detail communicates that this copy was made to matter. And it did. The prize label inside records that it was awarded by the Girls' County School in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, for the 1914 to 1915 school year. Someone earned this, and someone presented it with ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Author | Sir Walter Scott [d]Editor | J.
