Ink shelfmark to front paste-down. 1921 prize plate to verso of free endpaper. Binding sound. Slight loss to image on front cover. A little spotting to page edges. This colonial adventure story for children is clearly part of Woolf's 'Twins in Ceylon' series, but I can find no record of this particular title in any UK institutions.
