Viola Bayley was a popular British author of older children's adventure stories, many set in overseas countries.
This title is the 5th book in the 15 ''Adventure'' series, originally published in 1957.
This is a re-issue in Dent's ''Pennant Series, a Uniform Library of Outstanding Children's Fiction.''
This title has the original illustrations by Marcia Lane Foster, who did most of the ''Adventure'' series by Bayley,
and many other authors of the time; but a new jacket by Terence Freeman.
Again the ''Marriott'' family features in this adventure in Corsica,
''...described in all its brilliant colour, heat and Mediterranean unfamiliarity.''
Very Scarce Viola Bayley Title, with Dustjacket.
