An attractive example of this work by a prolific author. The jacket gives both Eyre & Spottiswoode and Thornton Butterworth as the publishers, perhaps due to the former acquiring a significant portion of Thornton Butterworth's business following the destruction of the latter's offices during the Blitz.
