Descripción

CONDITION:Very Good Minus; (1/4" stain across top edge thus grade), tight, board gilt very bright, spine a little faded, extrems rubbed; only occasional light page soil and reading wrinkles, two pages with chipped tips. Juvenile hardback. An early science fiction/utopian novel for children, set in an uncharted part of Southern Australia. Rollin sets out to find his father in the mysterious, unknown land of OO, a gentle but rigid theocracy whose members wear Greek dress. As it turns out Rollin's father has become a king and captive of the Orbellians. Once the story gets going, the attempt to find and rescue him is a real page-turner, with racial stereotypes of its time. The gift inscription on a flyleaf reads, "in remembrance of Valentine's Day 1890"; a note opposite written by the recipient as an adult reads "present to . when he was a little boy." ABE Heritage Seller since 1996; conservative AB condition grading. We ship all our books in cardboard protection. International shipping. . N° de ref. del artículo 19837
