A reprint of the reset 1958 edition. 351 pages. Signed and dated by the author in black ink to the half-title page: "Arthur Ransome 1962". The book is firmly bound in lightly marked and rubbed dark green cloth, lettered in gilt and blind, the extremities are slightly bumped. The text block is age browned, quite foxed and slightly marked, the presumed recipient of the book, a Rupert Crook has added his name in blue ink below Ransome's inscription. The dust jacket is the original and not price clipped, it is age toned, slightly rubbed, marked and foxed, with minor chips and short closed tears to the edges, the original owner has discretely stamped R. Crook to the upper panel. An uncommon signature from Ransome later in his life, which pleasingly he has dated, on his best-loved and most famous title.
