Author: ARNOLD, Allan
Title: The Diamond Island or Astray in a Balloon
Description: New York, Pluck and Luck Complete Stories of Adventure, 1901. Paperback. (No. 146). Small 4to. Color pictorial wrappers. 32pp. Color cover illustration. Good plus. Heavily and evenly age toned as usual, with edges somewhat delicate and spine archivally strengthened; upper and lower spine corners cropped. Melodramatic "penny dreadful" (actually, cover price five cents by this time), which like so many at this time was as preoccupied by the magic of flight as the general populace -- cover illustration depicts a hot air balloon swaying over the ocean, one figure dangling from its ropes. Quite attractive. .
