Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Bruce Cornwell (illustrator). First Edition. TAS AND THE POSTAL ROCKET E. C. Eliott. Thomas Nelson, London. 1955 First edition 120pp Illustrated Hardback. This copy is in very good condition bright, tight and square. The dustwrapper has some edge wear and one or two closed tears but is entire. It would appear at some time to have been price clipped by the publisher and the cover price of 3/- has been blacked out and the price of 2/6 added. Although Reginald Martin, a.k.a. E. C Eliott, wrote over a hundred books and became one of the more popular children's authors of the 1950s and 1960s, not much is known about the author himself or indeed the full range of his writing. He is probably best remembered for his series of children's westerns featuring Pocomoto. The new gleaming red postal rocket was all set for its flight round the world to deliver the mails. Tas and his friend, Bluey, take a chance and slip inside the rocket to have a look round. Thanks to Bluey's tampering, the rocket, to their horror, takes off, and neither of them has the slightest idea of how to control it . . . . Ref U5.
