Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Richard Kennedy. Dust jacket design by William Stobbs. (illustrator). Reprint. 257 pp, 7 7/8" H. B&w illustrations. "It had never seemed of much importance during their boyhood that Simon Carey was for Parliament and his friend Amias Hannaford a Royalist. But when the Civil War between the two parties broke out, and two years later they were old enough to take part in it, they found themselves fighting on different sides. This story tells of the last stages of the War waged in the west country; and the account of the part played by Simon in the fighting makes exciting reading. Several times in the course of it he encounters Amias: and these meetings leave him torn by conflicting loyalties. Finally the day comes when he his forced to put the strength of his friendship to the test, weighing it against his loyalty to the Parliamentarian cause." A few tiny light foxing marks on the edges of the text block, minor fading at the top edge of the spine, minor wrinkle at the bottom of the spine. Dust jacket has a small price-clip at the the bottom of the front flap, minor soiling on the rear flap, a clear plastic sleeve has been adhered to the dust jacket by strips of adhesive on the reverse side. Not Signed.
