About this Item
Cornish Adventure was one of only two children's stories written by Derek McCulloch who was known to radio 'childrens hour' listeners through the second world war & up to 1950 as 'Uncle Mac'. In this book, tells an exciting story of adventure that befell a boy, spending his summer holidays alone in Cornwall. The setting, of small village, rocky cove and smugglers' cave, is ideal for the plot which develops. The mystery breaks into the peaceful picture as the boy sails home one August morning with his fishermen friends from a round of the lobster pots out in the bay, and sinister work is exposed as he turns detective and trails his quarry doggedly through the heat of the day and the blackness of night in the cave. The author's own photoâ s, taken on just such a Cornish holiday, have been adapted to illustrate the chapter tailpieces. 2-pages of publisher's adverts. to rear. First Puffin Story Book Edition.
