Black Hearts in Battersea
New York: Doubleday, 1964.
First printing
A rollicking adventure story, set in nineteenth century England, in which some children pit their wits against scheming traitors to the realm.
They endure being chased by wolves, a wild balloon-ride and a storm at sea, before righting wrongs and saving the elderly Duke and Duchess of Battersea.
Illustrated by Robin Jacques' fabulous ink drawings.
