378

The riddle of the sands / a record of the secret service

164 pp; printed; clipping

A copy of Erskine Childers, ‘The riddle of the sands / a record of the secret service’ (London: George Newnes Limited, [c.1922]). A newspaper clipping of an article reporting on the execution of Erskine Childers in Beggars Bush Barracks in Dublin (24 November 1922) is pasted into the front of the volume. The clipping is seemingly taken from the (London) ‘Herald’ (25 November 1922). The article refers to the request made by Childers to see Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap. before his execution.

The volume is lacking covers, and the spine binding is exposed. The book is fragile and should be handled with care.
