Sobre este artículo
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1962. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The interior of the book is crisp and clean. There is a small decorataive Christmas sticker in the top right hand corner of the front free end paper and a small National Library stamp on the rear, but no other marks or wear. The illustrated cloth covers are fresh, with a bit of wear at edges and corners. The dust jacket is not corner-clipped, and shows little wear. A very nice copy. The attached scan gives a better idea of condition. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: Set during the Depression of the 1930s. "when two Newfound lads were taken on as crew of the schooner Black Joke, they were to face adventure that was beyond their wildest imaginings. Raised in the small outport of Ship Hole, they were used to the ways of the sea and its hardships. But how could they know that in very short order they would find themselves trapped by a gang of theives involved in rum-running and treachery on the high seas.
