Sabre; The Horse from the Sea
London: Adam & Charles Black, 1950. Edwards, Lionel. Second printing (1st pub. 1948). Hardcover. 145p + 5 pls. by Lionel Edwards, 1 in color. Jacket quite torn. An interesting point of issue is that the jacket was printed on the other side of color proofs illustrating Bible stories--perhaps due to paper shortages in postwar England? (See photo.). Very good (last page browned, perhaps from a clipping?) / poor. Item #31554
K.M. Peyton's brilliant first novel, written was she was 15, about Liza and a powerful grey stallion she finds on the beach. The jacket front flap mentions Peyton's second book, The Mandrake, which was published in 1949. Can be sent outside the U.S. for less than the default shipping rate. (R.I.P. K.M. Peyton, 1929-2023).
