Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Second Impression. 1960. Second impression (the first was in 1954). 253pp., a black and white frontispiece, 10 full-page black and white illustration and other illustrations within the text by Ramond Sheppard. Olivia Fitzroy (or Fitz Roy) (1921-1969) was a British… author of children's books. Her family spent their summers in Scotland, the setting of her books, and they were there in 1939 when her father, a naval officer, decided that they should remain in Inverewe for the duration of the Second World War. "Jamie and Jean Stewart are convalescing after measles at Carrick on the west coast of Scotland. Their housekeeper, Maggie, is looking after them, but they are depressed because their family and friends are away and they can find nothing interesting to do. But one day a friend, Fergus, does arrive, and persuades Maggie to let him take them to his island in his fishing boat, the Wandering Star. They are delighted to learn that they are to act as crew for the voyage, and that Fergus's Island of Birds is forty miles beyond the Outer Hebrides. They enjoy exploring the island with its deserted village, keeping house in the cottage Fergus has rebuilt for himself, fishing and watching birds, including a pair of rare sea-eagles which have nested on the cliffs. An unexpected interruption of their happiness is the arrival of two shady characters who pretend to Jean, whom they find alone in the cottage, that they are friends of Fergus's. Inadvertently she gives away the secret of the sea-eagles' nest. From then on Fergus and the children are defenders in a battle to protect the valuable eggs from the two would-be thieves. The Island of Birds proves to be an even more exciting place than Jean and James had bargained for." The book is bound in the original green boards with red-brown titling on the spine and an illustration of an eagle on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with light bumping to the spine ends and a faint water stain near the spine edge of part of the top edge of the front board . The contents are tight and clean with a light water stain extending out to about 1 1/2" from the spine corner on the top edge of the front fixed and free endpapers and slight offsetting to the endpapers. An inscription dated 1964 has been written on the dedication page. The unclipped dustwrapper has some shelf wear sith light soiling and the spine is slightly faded. The spine ends and corners are lightly bumped and nicked and there is some rubbing down the front fore edge and front spine edge. There is a water stain at the top of the spine that extends to a diminishing extend along the top of the wrapper, but the stain is only really visible on the back and the reverse. The front flap has not been clipped although there is a later publisher's price sticker over the original printed price. Overall, this is a very good tight and clean copy of a scarce title. Raymond Sheppard (illustrator).
