CHALLENGE TO ADVENTURE

by M.E. Atkinson

Illustrated by Stuart Tresilian

Published by John Lane The Bodley Head Limited. 1st. 1942

Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. A story of the Locketts family. The story is set in motion when three children from the Grenfell family express skepticism about the Locketts' previous exploits, suggesting that the "adventures" recorded in their books (ostensibly written by their aunt, a newspaper reporter) are works of fiction. To settle the dispute, an adventure competition is organized. Red cloth. B/w illustrations.

Top edge of textblock is foxed. Spine of dustwrapper is slightly faded.
