London, United Kingdom: John Long Limited, 1947. Dustwrapper has piece missing from top of spine, unclipped, fade to spine. Original cloth boards loss to title lettering on spine. No previous owners inscriptions. Signed by Norman Tucker on title page. 255 pages clean and tight. A VIGOROUS AND ENTHRALLING STORY of Napoleonic days, No Coward Soul outlines its characters against a breezy background of greenwood, shore, and tossing sea. Smuggling, pressgang raids, and sea combats afford a vivid glimpse of those stirring tinges. Attention centres on the dilemma of Nigel Preece, an ambitious schoolmaster, proud of his brain and breeding. In Bronwen Vaughan, daughter of an arrogant squire, he finds a mental affinity which his pedantic mind is slow to recognize as love. In order to raise money quickly he discards his high principles and joins the "Free Traders." These are led by Piers Penryn, a daring young fisherman, and his attractive sister, Puah. Before long, Preece finds himself bound to hurt someone he cares for, no matter what move he makes. His attempts to find a solution only result in matters becoming more involved. In No Coward Soul Norman Tucker has produced a first-rate entertainment. A rather nice copy with the dustwrapper protected in a removable archival booksleeve for preservation.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. FIRST EDITION.
