Mozley drew on his wealth of experience as a Lieutenant-Colonel, working as a painter, wartime conflict sketcher, and intelligence camouflage designer in WWII, for these evocative illustrations.

Lovely illustrated edition, quite elusive, especially in dust jacket, and in collectible condition.

Williamson that are repeated for the end-papers; in a very good dust jacket with art by Charles Mozley, with slight fading to spine panel, a tiny tan stain to rear panel, rubbing at the spine folds and flap folds, and short tears to the upper and lower spine edges; original printed $3.95 price still intact to the front inner flap.
