Hardbound. Condition: Very Good. Description: Dust jacket art and interior illustrations by Gillian Wood. I guess one could say this was Far and Away the author's Best book. The publisher declares ''Here is a new author for children'', and so far as I can tell this was his only book. ''The three children in this book are unbelievably lucky. They meet on the shore, a wild and one-eyed sea captain smoking a pipe. Captain Hornpipe, immensely friendly, in spite of his odd appearance, takes the children on far and away the best adventure they ever had to an island where their every wish is granted. The children enjoy themselves, each with their own ideas about fun. If they had not brought those ideas with them, the island would have become -- in a twinkling -- Far and Away the Worst.'' BINDING/CONDITION: blue cloth with white spine text; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact. small 8vo (7.5 inches tall). 190 pages.
