Vintage hardback book in dustwrapper "The Kidnapped King" by Ralph Arnold, published by Blackie in 1937. Some creasing and a few small tears to the edges of price-clipped dustwrapper, a few old damp-marks to the light-brown boards, an undated school prize message (Special Prize for Drawing) on f/ep, frontispiece is loose but still present. Otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover adventure story for boys. The story deals with a young man who stumbles on a plot involving a central European prince who has been kidnapped by Communists and hidden in England . 224pp, 3 b&w illustrations.
