About this book

The narrator of G. J. Whyte-Melville's novel begins by forcing open an old rosewood desk and sorting through the odds and ends inside. The war of the subtitle is the Crimean War, and chapter titles such as Omar Pasha and The Redan point to Turkey and the siege of Sevastopol. Whyte-Melville, who also wrote Digby Grand and General Bounce, published it as a tale of the war, and this edition has illustrations by Lucy E. Kemp-Welch.
