Author: CLAUDY, Carl H.
Title: The Land of No Shadow
Description: New York, Grosset & Dunlap, 1933. Hardcover. Illustrations by A.C. Valentine. Small 8vo. Blue cloth with black lettering, pictorial dust jacket. vii, 214pp. Two-color frontispiece, two-color pictorial endpapers. Near fine/very good. Jacket mildly edgeworn, with spine faintly sunned. Superlative first edition -- tight, fresh -- of the third title in the 4-title "Adventures in the Unknown" boy's juvenile series (1933-34), described by one series bibliographer as "Almost adult-level science-fiction stories."
