Captain Scott, 1963, Series 561 matt

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:

Matt boards in excellent condition.  I would describe it as ‘Fine’ but for a pale blue mark on the front cover (see potos).  The pages are clean and tight – unread perhaps.  This copy dates to the early 1970s and has an original price of 15p on the back.
