Description: A ripping yarn about a group of friends who travel to a mysterious island in search of adventure. Very much in the style of Enid Blyton's Five on a Treasure Island, minus the lashings of ginger beer!
Highly recommended for fans of the Famous Five who want to try something new!!
Pictorial boards. Corners slightly bumped. Some foxing to the front cover and along tips of the page edges. Brown silhouette left behind by bookmark spanning two pages (bookmark still in place). Small loss to spine at head. Award plate affixed to ffep is dated 1951. No illustrations other than a stunning b&w frontispiece. No date of publication, but assumed to be from 1949.
A very rare book.

I wondered if anyone has a copy of this book at all or has perhaps read it?
