The Far-Distant Oxus - Katharine Hull & Pamela Whitlock: The Far-Distant Oxus Gang Adventure Novel Rare 1938

Own a piece of children's literature history with this highly sought-after 4th impression of The Far-Distant Oxus (1938) by teenage authors Katharine Hull & Pamela Whitlock. This is a brilliant vintage adventure novel in the spirit of the Arthur Ransome 'Swallows and Amazons' series, complete with Ransome's famous, glowing introduction, calling it "the best children's book of 1937." This rare collectable book comes with the original (though worn) dust jacket featuring the iconic silhouette cover art and the charming endpaper map of the 'Country round Peran Wisa'. The story follows a group of children and their thrilling, independent Exmoor adventures with ponies and a raft down the "Oxus" river—a perfect example of 1930s adventure fiction and the pony book genre. Given the age, the book block is in great condition, and the map endpapers are a joy to behold (see photos for wear to the jacket). A genuine classic for collectors of vintage children's books or fans of British adventure stories. The other two books in the trilogy are also available.
