Beschreibung

1960. First edition. 222pp. Nigel Tranter (1909-2000) was a popular Scottish writer, best known for his works on castles, architecture and history. He also specialised in deeply researched historical novels that cover centuries of Scottish history. This is not one of Tranter's historical novels, but a hilarious story of the quest for the treasures of a Spanish galleon sunk off the Inner Hebrides, in which sundry members of the Clan MacAimish, abetted if scarcely aided by the red-headed giant, Roddie Roy MacGregor from darkest Clydeside, pit their wits against a highly organised and equally illegal expedition from London, with the British Royal Navy holding a watching, if bewildered brief. The book is bound in the original red boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with light bumping to the top of the spine and a faint mark near the fore corners of both boards. The contents are tight and clean with a name written on the front fixed endpape. The unclipped dustwrapper has light shelf wear with some rubbing along the top edge and some creasing near the front and rear corners. There are two small old tape stains on the reverse of the front and back of the wrapper where an old protective cover for the wrapper may have been attached.
