Who wrote it: The World of William Penn is a nonfiction history by Genevieve Foster, published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1973. Foster was known for her "world landscape" biographies, setting a single life against the sweep of world events happening at the same time.

What it's about: The book traces the life of William Penn against the backdrop of his era, weaving in figures like Louis XIV, Peter the Great, and Sir Isaac Newton to show how Penn's world intersected with the wider currents of history.

Condition: Blue cloth hardcover with dust jacket; a former library book with library markings and some tape repair to the jacket's top edge. Please review all photos carefully, and email me with any questions.
