About This Item
Middletown, Conn.: Wesleyan University Press, 1978. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Near Fine/Near Fine.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, Hint of age-darkening on the spine. Moderate shelf handling wear. The Dust Jacket has the price of $12.50. Reprint of 1930 edition, First Fully illustrated.. A glorious story of adventure relating when Kent and two friends sailed on a private schooner from Labrador and Newfoundland to Greenland.
We are carried along through deep fogs, icebergs, storms and calms until the men are shipwrecked in a violent storm on Greenland's rocky shore.
The story also presents an absorbing and tender tale of the relationships of Kent with the people of Newfoundland, his two shipmates and the Stone Age Eskimos of Greenland, who threw him a highly successful party in spite of the language barrier.
