Black Martinique, red Guiana,
1942 1ST EDITION. COLLECTIBLE.312 Pages. Good Condition. No DJ.
The author of Burma Roads takes you on visits to Martinique, disputed property of Visry France, and to Guiana, noteworthy as a penal colony for France where Dreyfus was a prisoner. A good yarn is spun - as the author has a good faculty for picking up yarns from other people and the result is that these journeys of his vils is more than simply travel reading. There are personalities, adventures, bits of history and stories of human interest. Episodic in handling, almost naïve in simplicity of style it still has great appeal for the mass market. There are numerous historical maps and illustrations that tell stories in themselves. NOW HERE IS A BONUS In this book Id found a marker that must have been used by the reader of this book. The marker is a 1943 change of address card from the War Department, Office of Dependency Benefits. It is not filled out and is 3x7 inches made of heavy type cardboard paper. It is worth buying this book to get the antique card. Good Reading
