Beschreibung

States "Copyright, 1936, by Oxford University Press, New York, Inc. / Lithographed in the U.S.A." no later dates. However, original price sticker to bottom of jacket front flap states "8/6 net." Why this U.S. edition would have been initially sold in England, when there was reportedly a separate U.K. edition, we do not know. Boards of the book, having been constantly protected by the original jacket, remain bright and handsome. Spine has some "give," but internal hinges are lovely, so we have not attempted any strengthening. The first book both written and illustrated by Ardizzone (though at this point he had been illustrating adult titles for seven years, starting with Sheridan LeFanu's "In a Glass Darkly," 1929.) How the "brave captain" comes to allow his vessel to strike a rock in sight of land when a storm brews up, instead of taking her out where there's some sea room, is not made clear, though children's books tend to have their own logic. No internal markings or problems; we simply don't judge the binding of this volume tight enough to merit a grade of "very good." Unpaginated but 30 pp. Reduced from $955.
