The Archer-Shees Against the Admiralty: The Story Behind the Winslow Boy
First edition. 188pp plus some black and white plate illustrations. In grey cloth boards with deep blue titles on spine. Top edge sprayed blue. 8vo. Gently rounded at spine tips; text block edges a tad dust-darkened. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket, a little faded and bumped and rubbed at edges; some shelf wear visible on verso. Terrence Rattigan's famous play, The Winslow Boy, was based on a real case, that of George Archer-Shee, a 13 year old cadet at Osborne Naval College.
