About This Item

Petersfield, England: David Schutte, 2008 Book. Illus. by Val Biro. Mint. Hardcover. First Edition. Claret cloth lettered gold, b/w frontispiece, Mint in Mint dustwrapper, recently discovered, here at last are the long-lost scripts for Malcolm Saville's first Lone Pine adventure. In 1943 Malcolm Saville's just-published "Mystery at Witchend" was serialised for BBC's Children's Hour in four parts, adapted by Barbara Sleigh (who went on to write the popular "Carbonel" series). Although highly successful, Saville's serial was never repeated. There is no evidence that a recording was made, but if so, it has long since disappeared. Even the scripts had been thought lost forever - until now! Here they are, unearthed after sixty-five years, published in the first volume of Lone Pine Radio (the scripts for "Seven White Gates" and "The Gay Dolphin Adventure" were also published, in 2009). The specially commissioned wraparound dustjacket is designed by Val Biro, who has also drawn a b/w frontispiece. New, originally published at £21.50, Mint in Mint d/w..
