The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
One of the favorite adventure stories of all time, Master Skylark relates the exciting experiences of young Nick Attwood long ago in Merrie England in the days of Will Shakespeare and Queen Bess.
The story of a gallant lad with yellow hair and the voice of an angel who ran away from home only to be kidnapped by a band of strolling players has thrilled many thousands of young readers. During that year of his wanderings Nick Attwood was to meet many among the good and great and many a rogue as well, and the magic of his golden voice was to become a legend in the land.
When at long last he arrives at London town to sing before the Queen, the story reaches its thrilling climax. Through the eager eyes of this talented young boy, readers will see for themselves the green hedgerows of the countryside, the gabled cities, and share the high adventure of England's Golden Age.
