This is the seventh volume of the "Adventure" series in which the characters Philip, Dinah, Jack, Kiki the parrot and Lucy-Ann encounter exciting adventures. There are seven other books in this "Adventure" series, entitled: The Island, The Valley, The Sea, The Mountain, The Ship, The Castle and The River of Adventure.
This book is a 1956 reprint of the first edition. Bound in a pale yellow cloth with blue/black lettering and pictorial design to the front cover and spine. The boards are in very good condition with only light wear to the extremities. The spine is slightly cocked. The contents are also very good. There is a '#7 We don't have #6' written in ink to the front free end-paper, no doubt a booksellers mark, and a mark to the upper right corner of the front pastedown. The contents are otherwise clean and bright throughout. Complete with the original dust jacket, designed by the artist Stuart Tresilian. It has been price clipped with more than the usual corner having been removed, as shown in the images provided. The colours of the jacket remain vibrant and bright - it has moderate wear to the extremities including some loss to the head of the spine and a closed tear to the upper front cover as well as the rear joint. The image taken of the reverse of the dust jacket shows these more clearly. Overall a very good, early copy of the seventh book in the series.
