Captain Scott, 1963, Series 561 (DJ)

Captain Scott is the 16th title in the 561 series, colourfully written by L du Garde Peach and illustrated by John Kenney.  This title was first published with a dustwrapper.  In this colourful telling of the ill-fated voyage, writer L du Garde Peach gives a very vivid account of the trials and suffering of the party.   Every time I read it, I find myself hoping that this time it might end differently.

This copy:

This book still has its original dustwrapper (not price-clipped).  Both book and DJ are in  good/very good condition.  The DJ has some wear and fraying to the edges and head and foot of spine and the spine panel is sunned. Some light marks too to the back panel. The pages are VG.

I believe it to be a first edition and is the last title listed on the DJ back flap.
