"Nearly fine/very good first edition thus with just a bump at spine-foot and scrape-incipient tear to bottom rear paste-down, clean and bright interior of this attractively produced first printing by Candlewick Press. Originally published in 1939. This wonderfully strange illustrated pirate fantasy by the cult novelist Mervyn Peake is scarce in any printing. Fresh oversized pale blue boards with illustration to the front board, blue endpapers, afterword by Fabian Peake dated London, 2001. The dust jacket about fine with colorful drawings to front and back panels, protected in a clear Brodart cover. Peake's idiosyncratic drawings gloriously realize his eccentric characters Captain Slaughterboard, the Yellow Creature and the entire colorful crew."
