by Ruth Adams Knight

Illustrated by Algot Stenbery

New York: Whittlesey House/McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. (1956).

First edition, first printing.

Sweet copy of this juvenile treasure-hunt adventure tale told through the experiences of two Spanish youths, Miguel and Sanchez, who sailed as pages on the Florencia, the flagship of the Armada, and Donald and Alan, sons of the Scottish Clan MacLean.

This describes a segment of Scottish history as it might have happened in the wake of the attempt made on England by the Spanish Armada in 1588. Prompted by a current attempt on the Isle of Mull to locate the wreck of Florencia, a galleon believed to be sunk in Tobermory Bay.

Ms. Knight wrote numerous fiction and non-fiction books for teenagers, focusing each fictional story on a specific problem or challenge a teen might have, several with international settings based on current world events.

The author also wrote for adults, but was most known for writing thousands of radio and television scripts, including for the series: Brave Tomorrow; Cavalcade of America; Aunt Jennie; and Dr. Christian.

Fine, in blue cloth with black spine lettering; in a nearly fine, faintly age-toned, very lightly rubbed pictorial dust jacket that has been neatly price-clipped by the publisher, with a publisher rubber-stamped price of $3.50 to the upper front flap. Map-decorated endsheets.

 A very elusive title by the author of BRAVE COMPANIONS (the story of a blind soldier and a seeing-eye dog)!
