About This Item
(London, John Murray, 1996). 8vo; brown boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xii + 340; frontispiece portrait, map; name stamp of previous owner on front free endpaper; scattered light foxing and browning. Good to very good condition. "This book is the magnificent sequel to Night of the New Moon in which Laurens van der Post described, with such compassion, his brutal captivity in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. On the surrender of the Japanese, he found himself overnight in the unusual position of having to keep peace in Java through the Japanese who had held him in captivity for three and a half years. The Admiral's Baby tells vividly, for the first time, this extraordinary episode in the history of the twentieth century." .
