    Description

    Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

    Illustrated with twelve plates, including four tipped in colour plates. With further vignette illustrations. Collated, complete.

    The work of Tom Bevan, a British writer of boys' adventure stories, who authored over twenty children's novels. Originally a schoolteacher, he also wrote non-fiction and educational books for children.

    With a contemporary inscription to the half title.

    A brightly illustrated and scarce children's work, intriguing for the manner in which it presents the major global conflict to young readers.

Front hinge lightly strained, with board holding firm. Inscription to half title. Internally, firmly bound, with the exception of the frontispiece, which is detached and loosely inserted.
