Daniel Defoe's Colonel Jack 1947 - Hamish

This wonderfully decorative, classic title will look fantastic on any bookshelf! The main character is introduced by the narrator as follows - Captain Jack was the eldest of us all, by a whole year. He was a squat, big, strong-made boy, and promised to be stout when grown up to be a man, but not to be tall. His temper was sly, sullen, reserved, malicious, revengeful; and, withal, he was brutish, bloody, and cruel in his disposition. He was, as to manners, a mere boor, or clown, of a carman-like breed; sharp as a street-bred boy must be, but ignorant and unteachable from a child. He had much the nature of a bull-dog, bold and desperate, but not generous at all. - a character not to be trifled with! Find out how the tale play out!
