CHALLENGE TO ADVENTURE
Written by M.E. Atkinson. Illustrated by Stuart Tresilian.
Stock no. 1204205
Published by John Lane The Bodley Head Limited. 1st 1942. Very good condition.

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. Spine is faded. Light crease to rear cover.
