Rafael Sabatini 
Historical Nights‘ Entertainment Second Series 

A selection of short works in which Sabatini writes as different protagonists out for a night on the town. Using his talent for imagery, his art as a wordsmith and his wry sense of humor, it makes these books a window into the past. To this edition of the Second Series of The Historical Nights‘ Entertainment are added three stories from the volume originally published under the title of The Justice of the Duke. (Goodreads)
