About this Item
Description:
Reprint. Tenth impression. 391 pages. Inscribed by the author to the half-title page: "With best wishes from Arthur Ransome", above one of his small signature drawings of a sailing dinghy. The book is reasonably firmly bound in dark green cloth, lettered in gilt and blind, the cloth is quite marked, rubbed and bumped, with some small tears to the cloth and sunning to the spine. The text block is somewhat age toned, dusty and marked. The dust jacket has evidently been supplied by a former owner from another copy, oddly an earlier 1940s example, which does not list 'Great Northern', it is not price clipped, though it is slightly toned and rubbed, the spine is slightly faded and there are small chips and short closed tears to the edges. The ninth title in the series and the second set on the Norfolk Broads, further showing Ransome's versatility, as it is in part a well-constructed work of detective fiction, the Ds performing admirably, Dick applying Sherlockian techniques of scientific deduction, and Dorothea much ahead of her time in the role of criminal psychologist.
