London: Jonathan Cape, 1969. First Edition. In hardback illustrated boards with matching original dust jacket. Very tight and neat, appears almost unread. Siblings Jack and Nancy live near the seaside, and can see ships sailing by from their bedroom window. Sailors tell them tales of tropical foreign lands, and they dream of visiting them some day. On a cliff walk one windy day, their father's green umbrella carries them off for an unbelievable adventure! Absolutely lovely story 270 x 215 mm (10¾ x 8½ inches).
