240pp. Indexed. Illustrated. Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page, to Guy Hughes. Cloth boards (very slightly rounded at spine tips). Speckled upped text block edge. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In an edge worn and speckled dust jacket. Caspar John grew up in the harsh, Bohemian world of his painter father, Augustus, and joined the Royal Navy in 1916 at the age of 13. He was no ordinary sailor - a Naval pioneer and First Sea Lord in the 1960s - but a painful and crippling illness cut short his career, as his daughter reveals in this telling memoir of a war time sailor. Dust jacket supplied in archival-quality mylar wrapper to protect and prolong the life of the jacket. It is not adhered to the book or to the dust jacket.
