How Nell Scored

94pp. Blue cloth boards with black lettering (a little rounded at corners). Previous owner’s inscription on corner-clipped front endpaper, else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original, price-clipped dust jacket (a little rubbed at edges, a couple of minor chips at spine ends). A westerly gale was pounding the shores of New Zealand when the Bandalina Star ship was wrecked near Nell’s farmhouse home and two strangers became her guests.
