The time is the future and covers the month of a short sharp war, begun in treachery and costing lives the world around. Sandy has no expectation that he would be an integral part of it when mischief impelled him to break every one of the windows at one end of Miss Abigail's greenhouse with his slingshot. Sandy was always a well meaning boy but things happened, and this was one of the worst. Fortunately for him, the Colonel nephew of Miss Abigail, had done the same thing in his boyhood and remembered. He knew too how to manage the dragon that was his aunt. David Harry Walker (1911-92), was a Scottish born Canadian novelist. He was born in Dundee, Scotland, later moving to St Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada, where he began his career as a writer. His work has been made into films.

First edition. From the author of " Geordie". A previous owner's name to top of front free endpaper else a FINE book in NEAR FINE jacket with a couple of short closed tears and a trace of wear to top of spine. A delightful story!

Illustrated by Dobson Broadhead. First printing. Near fine in a very good (minor edge wear) dust jacket.

A lovely clean copy of the first edition with no inscriptions. The red cloth boards look lovely and bright with crisp gilt title lettering on the spine. There's just a little foxing and toning to the end papers and page block edge but hardly noticeable. Very minor knocking to the corner tips, hardly even worth mentioning. The dust jacket looks bright and clean and not price clipped, albeit with some edge wear and some minor loss at the extremities most notably a tiny piece missing at the foot of the spine. There's also a little toning to the mainly white back cover. In all this is a very presentable copy of this fairly scarce first impression.

First edition. Very good in good dustwrapper. Pages and cover clean. Edges of spine lightly rubbed. Dustwrapper shelf rubbed. Nice solid book.
