Tales of Adventurers

Condition: Very Good - in Good+ DJ. DJ slightly ruffled along edges. Leans slightly. :: Further Information: The characters of these stories are men and women of many different nationalities - British, Greek, Jewish, Roumanian, Russian, Spanish and their adventures vary as widely as their races. There is the tense excitement of The Hut, a story of the French Resistance in the war; the rich humour of Brandy for the Parson or of The Cook-Runner - a tale of a man who lost a foot but gained a cook, and thought the exchange well worth while; the pathos of such stories as A Jew and An Irishman, with its shipload of Jewish refugees, as charmingly comic as they are touching, or of The Pejemuller, which tells of a man who found and lost a mermaid. 224pp. Size: 8vo Crown (19 x 13cm Approx.) Dust wrapper in protective, removable sleeve. First Edition. ::
