Condition: new. Denys Watkins-Pitchford (illustrator). (Paperback, 2000). (1944) 2000 new paperback edition. 8vo (133 x 216mm). Pp304+2pp ads. B/w illustrations by D.J. Watkins-Pitchford. Very good copy. First published in 1944. The story of three brothers who run away from home and live as outlaws in an English forest. "When first published in 1944, I said that it stood 'head and shoulders above the normal run of children's book'. Reading it again, twenty-four years later, I find no reason to change my opinion. This is a very unusual book: at once a first-rate adventure story set in the English countryside and a primer for the budding field naturalist aged 10-12 by a master of the craft." (Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald). .
