the jacket, now protected, is price clipped. It suffers from minor loss at the head of the spine; is chipped at the edges and has a small hole towards the tail, above the author's name. The front flap has left a shadowy imprint on the front end paper. Despite its faults, it remains a very nice copy. "Exmoor, where the action of this book is represented as occurring, is, thank heaven, a real place, inhabited by living men and women. It should therefore be made clear beyond the possibility of doubt that the localities and characters here depicted are purely imaginary and bear no relation whatever to any existing place or person." (Cyril Hare)
