DUGMORE, Major A. Radclyffe
Two Boys in Beaver-Land. Of the Canadian Woods, the animals that live there & more particularly the Beaver…
London: Hodder and Stoughton, [c.1920]
8vo., olive-green cloth, prettily blocked in black, yellow and brown with text and beaver illustrations to upper cover and spine; pp. [vi], 3-245, [v]; with title page in black and red; frontis showing a bull moose startling two boys, and numerous other charming illustrations in black throughout; text contained inside black borders; endpapers a little browned and offset; boards a tad pushed and rubbed to edges and tips; a very good to near fine example.
First UK edition of this charming tale reintroducing characters who first appeared in Dugmore’s ‘Adventures in Beaver Stream Camp’, where they were similarly lost in Newfoundland. The plot follows Jack Sylvester and Charlie Mason as they explore the Canadian wilderness, and is designed as “a story for Boys, both young & old & for Girls, who are interested in the lives & habits of the wild creatures & in the wonders of the open air, Life among the sweet scented firs & placid lakes & where the sparkling rivers bid us come away from the restless cities…”
Scarce in this condition.
