Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Cuthbertson, Geo. A. (illustrator). First Edition. [8], 9-222 pages. Occasional black and white illustrations. Undated but appears to be circa 1937.

Includes works by Robert Service, J.C. Murray, Alpine MacGregor, and many others, brief biographies for fourteen of whom are included at back. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's illustrated brown buckram-covered boards. Front hinge starting. Narrow opening in binding at title page. Prior owner's details atop front free endpaper.
