All pages, text and illustrations are in really good, clean, readable order. Printed in Great Britain by The Pitman Press, Bath. Set in Poliphilus Type and bound by J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd, Letchworth. The golden island of Tahiti seemed a paradise to the sea-weary crew of H.M.S Dolphin when, in 1767, they first set foot on its shores. This account of their experiences was written by the Master, to whose vivid and unspoken narrative have been added some piquant details from the Journals of other members of his ship's company. It paints an extremely entertaining picture of what happened when a party of English sailors stumbled into a Garden of Eden. Robert Gibbings, the illustrator, knew Tahiti well, and loved it: his engravings , exquisite in detail, convey all the timeless fascination of the island better than any camera. A brilliant read and definitively a book to be preserved for future generations.…

In its original dust jacket (a little rubbed at edges and perhaps a tad toned). Approximately 7 inches tall. All ten Penguin Illustrated Classics - which are listed on the back of this book - were published on the same day in May 1938, the series being a prototype for the famed Penguin Classics, which came nearly a decade later. In selecting out of copyright works, Allen Lane could allocate the cost of royalties to the illustrators, who all used woodcut printing. The series, though, didn't do well. Looming war turned interest towards more practical information such as guides and specials. The ambition of the illustrations failed too, because of cheapness of the paper used. The series was discontinued, making this one of the most difficult sets to complete in quality condition. Raverat, Gwendolen; Gibbings, Robert (ilustrador).…
