248pp. Frontispiece and further line drawings in text by Joyce Bruce. Book has the appearance of a 1st edition, but the dust wrapper is in the 'Crown Library' style. Yellow cloth covered boards, a little worn, rounded on corners, slightly compressed at spine tips. Internally neat, clean and tight. In its original dust jacket (chipped and rubbed at edges, minor loss at spine ends, spine sunned - good minus). The Boy in Red is Maurice St Annalands, a young page to William the Silent, the heroic leader of the Netherlands in the fight for freedom.
