Seller's Description:
Near Fine. Book 1st printing. This book is square, solid, and unread. You'll be so thrilled When you receive this book, you'll feel as though you've stumbled into a cave and come across. an elven sword named Glamdring--or the crown of the fabled Prester John--a ring of invisibility. or even a Magic Lamp, prosaic as that may sound! You MAY even cartwheel with glee! In protective archival bag. NOTE: Light evidence of handling-wear; a little bit of ink pen-scribbling is to be found on the FFEP.
Once again Upfield introduces unusual characters and engrossing plot to take us on an austrailian adventure with the undefeated detective, Napoleon Bonaparte. It is Bony's knowledge of the bush that helps him crack this case. As readers, we learn some of the ways of life in Australia in the 50's and enjoy a puzzling mystery as Bony takes on the disguise of a horse breaker and barman to gain information in a very isolated and insulated town. I have never been disappointed in any of Arthur Upfields stories. I love how he presents his people --both white and aborigine --with sensitivity and compassion.
