Item Description: Blackwood, 1916 - Hardcover. Book Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 12th Impression - Twenty-six stories of pre-World War I British naval life in war and peace. >>> Twenty-five yarns spun with the intention of giving the average civy a sense of life in the Royal Navy in the early days of the Great War. Lots of patrolling and only the occasional skirmish with the enemy. Falls says 'Bartimaeus' served a useful propaganda purpose: He gave us a picture of what may be called the coulisses of the Grand Fleet. There were the sudden short leaves, the hopes and fears of wives and sweethearts, the trekking to and fro. All this was recorded with the lightest and pleasantest of pens, so that it was no wonder that he was in those days one of the most widely read writers of the War.' * Naval * War * WW I * Military *
