by Arthur Ransome, author of “Swallows
& Amazons,” with 28 illustrations by the author, including a frontispiece,
and maps, including COLOUR endpaper maps of Swallowdale, High Moor and
Kanchenjunga.
It was published

The book measures
8 inches x 6 inches x 1.4 inches and has 453 pages (including illustrations),
which are hand-cut to the bottom rims.
The book is in
good, neat condition for its age, with minor wear to the original cloth
hardback cover, with a previous owner’s name on a book-plate at the front, a
little foxing near the covers/rims, and no other ink or pencil markings in the
book. The binding is used, with a twist to the spine, and no loose or missing
pages. There is no dust-jacket.
A wonderful,
illustrated vintage edition.

Unwinsbooks have held down shipping prices
from 2013-2020 in spite of small increases in postage costs. However, Royal Mail Prices dramatically
changed on 1 July 2020, as a result of exceptional cost increases outside of their
control, so we are reluctantly having to pass on pricing increases for parcels
being sent overseas (primarily USA, New Zealand, Australia and the Rest of the
World).
These costs are a direct result of:
“Royal Mail, always aim to deliver the best
value international services. We fully recognise that these changes are
significant. This was a decision we reluctantly took but is necessary in view
of the increased costs borne by Royal Mail.”
If the Royal Mail reduce their charges in
the future (in particular what they term “Temporary Air Carrier Supplement
Pricing”) unwinsbooks will reduce the international costs accordingly.
Unwinsbooks always
obtain a proof of postage receipt from the Royal Mail. Packages over Royal Mail size rules may be
sent by courier (customer will be informed).
Goods will be WELL PACKAGED by Unwins Books
and dispatched once payment has cleared.
