Cloth. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Wear, tears and marks to D/J. From a band of rebel's to an organisation almost as important as the Post Office; from weekend patrols to full scale actions as colourful and as exciting as those carried out by the services; from a handful of conspirators to a force almost as public and as familiar as the police. Preventing rail smashes, encoutering strayed lions and escaped convicts, returning an elephant to its owner, rescuing from flood and fire - these services, as well as those that cope with puncture, breakdown, cold engine and collision, are only some of the subjects of the anecdotes and sidelong glances at our British way of life that make up this impressive and entertaining book.
