About This Item
DW. Not price clipped. Some chips missing to the dw cover with a small white sticker on dw top right. Remnants of tape removed from MJ colophon on spine. Book is clean and tight with some minor foxing to prelims.
All the hornblower books are magical, at least they were to me and I see these becoming as collectable as James Bond, it may take a few more years though.

Synopsis
Lord Hornblower (published 1946) is a Horatio Hornblower novel written by C. S. Forester. In 1814, Hornblower is delegated to deal with the Flame, a brig full of mutineers off the French coast, near the mouth of the Seine. It is a tricky situation because the mutineers' demands cannot be met, but they have threatened that if a Royal Navy force tries to force their hand, they will slip into a nearby French port.
