About This Item
London: Heinemann, 1939. New Edition 1958 . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The interior of the book is clean and tight, showing light use only. The interior paper is fresh, but the front and rear end papers have tanned. The dark blue covers are also in very good condition, with just a bit of light wear at tips and corners. The silver gilt spine lettering is still bright. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, and again shows very light wear . The rear panel has darkened. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: Left in London for their holidays, the four Lorrimers -- Robert, fourteen-and-a-half, Sally, thirteen, and the nine-and-a-half year-old twins -- find their prospects bleak until they combine their savings to buy the Esmeralda, a fouteen foot sailing boat. Esmeralda lets them go on exploring trips along the Thames, establish a base camp on an island, and even solve a mystery.
