Description
Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon
Charles Boardman Hawes (1889-1923) was an American author of sea stories both fiction and non-fiction alike. He won the Newbery Medal for his third novel 'The Dark Frigate', but died suddenly of pneumonic meningitis, cutting his work short. He also penned the works 'The Mutineers', 'The Great Quest' and 'A Boy Who Went Whaling'.
This work was compiled and published posthumously by the wife's author.
This is the first English edition.
Contains eight full plate illustrations in colour.
