Description

The third Finnegan Zwake novel by Dahl is a humorous bibliomystery in which Finnegan and his mystery writing uncle are off to Occo (located between Lesser Occo and Morocco). Uncle Stoppard has been nominated for the most prestigious award in mysterydom -- the Ruby Raven, an award worth a million dollars and a carved bird with rubies for eyes and a ruby pendant around its neck. Of course it could be a little dangerous if, like Finn, you're nervous about that explosion as he and Uncle left for the airport, or the cobra he found in his hotel room. Paperback Original, True First Printing, First Edition. Text is clean, tight and square; pictorial wrappers show only minor surface and edgewear.

From the publisher

Finnegan's uncle receives an invitation to be a finalist in an international mystery writers' award competition. Since the author must be present to accept the prize, that means exotic Saharan travel for Finn and Uncle Stoppard. The competition winner will receive $1,000,000 and The Ruby Raven, a figurine of a dark, carved bird, with real ruby gems as eyes. It's no surprise that all of the writers are eager to win this coveted award, in fact some are dying to possess it.....
