In Perilous Times

[1938] 148pp, with black and white plate illustrations. Grey-flecked cloth-covered boards, stamped brown titles front and spine. 12mo. Cloth is a little soiled around edges. Light and mild spotting on text block edges and prelims, minor tanning on endpapers, else internally neat, clean, tight and bright. In its original, illustrated dust jacket, rubbed and browned at edges, mildly shelf worn. A story aimed at boys and girls but also of interest to adults, it tells of perilous adventures, often with humour; tales of those who stayed loyal to their faith in the early days of religious persecution in England, laid around Glastonbury Abbey and the beautiful island of Jersey.
