SYNOPSIS, BLURB...:
The very first title in this remarkably popular series introduces the young James Ogilvie as a newly-hatched subaltern posted to India's North-West frontier in 1894.
This is the true first edition and precedes the US edition by three years.
On the good dust jacket, the original illustration by Bruce Macdonald is bright, remarkably sharp and clean, as is the rear panel, which advertises the contemporaneous publication of "The East Indiaman", the first in the set of three sought-after nautical novels by Ellis K Meacham.
All in all this is by far the best quality copy of this rare TRUE FIRST EDITION (published 3 years earlier than the ubiquitous American edition).
Overseas shipping by courier varies.
Expensive.
