The Lively Lady and Captain Caution - combined book club edition

by Kenneth Roberts

Two historic novels of the War of 1812. These are stories of the American privateersmen during the war, who were essentially the US's chief substitute for a navy, Captured by the British, this tale of their sufferings in the Dartmoor Prison, the invention of the Gangway Pendulum, and their ultimate escape is Kenneth Roberts at his best. Both are magnificent novels.

This is a book club edition, cream colored boards. Jacket is a bit rubbed and ragged at top and bottom of spine. Nice color portrait on the front. Very good reading copy.
