Description

The Hamlyn Book of Great Escapes by Brenda Ralph Lewis. 'Sixteen of the world's most brilliant, exciting and inventive escape stories, often from life or death situations, have been selected by the author from material covering four centuries and resulted in a fast-moving and powerful narrative. Some of the stories are well known. Mary Queen of Scots' flight from Lochleven Castle in the sixteenth century is a justly famous tale, but one which always bears re-telling. More recently, the courage and resourcefulness displayed by the Danish people in German-occupied Denmark in the Second World War is also often recounted. The excellent dramatic illustrations enhance the text, and wherever possible there are also photographs of the characters involved in the action.' The dust jacket has light general wear with some small tape repairs but the book remains tight and bright. A LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
