About This Item
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1954. D/J is in one piece but has bits missing around the edges. The book is in good used condition. The beautiful island of Saint Roger, in the romantic blue Caribbean, has been so stricken by disaster that its commerce is dead, and its colored population is reverting in despair to its old savage ways. But there are those who have the welfare of these poor folk sincerely at heart. An ingenious salvage-plan is laid - and Gabrielle, young beautiful but unsuccessful actress, takes on the most exacting role of her life. With the Prefect of Saint Roger, she sets sail from France in a vessel that carries strange cargo. Even more remarkable, British, Russians and Americans combine forces again to give that cargo an impressive send-off, while all the world pays homage. This is a book which will establish Jerrard Tickell as a major novelist. All the wit and sparkle of his prose are here, but to them have been added the qualities of depth and humor, and the delightful tang of satire. Nor can the most cynical fail to be moved by the tremendous ending to the story. You will receive the book seen in the image.. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. First Edition. Cloth. Good/Fair.
