Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Born and raised on a small farm in Pembrokeshire, Wales, John Treasure Jones went to sea when he was fifteen. For the first four years he was indentured as an apprentice, surviving the oceans in a small tramp steamer. Slowly, however, he worked his way up to become Captain of the most famous ocean liner afloat, Cunard's RMS Queen Mary. During the Second World War, as a Commander in the Royal Navy Reserve, he was torpedoed in the Atlantic and mentioned twice in Despatches. In the post-war years he mixed with film stars and royalty, commanding several of the famous Cunard liners, such as the Saxonia, Mauretania and Queen Elizabeth. In 1967 he took his final command - Queen Mary on her last voyage - a 12,000 - mile trip from Southampton to her retirement home in Long Beach, California. Captain Treasure Jones dies in 1993, but his manuscript was recently found and has been edited by his son-on-law to be reproduced here for the first time. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This story is about how one turtle's inherently slow qualities were used in a manner to achieve his ultimate goal to be the best. It is to encourage children to slow down and absorb knowledge, than to rush through only to not retain what they've learned. It will make those who are slower learners feel that they too can achieve their goals and aspirations in life. It's important that our children do not feel inferior to others and that our teachers understand that each student learns at a different rate. Captain Howard's Story Time books are also meant to teach, entertain and excite the imagination of the young reader so that reading may become a lifelong pastime as a source of information and enjoyment.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. London, Stanley Paul & Co. Ltd., 1933. Octavo, 256 pages plus 28 pages of plates (totalling 40 illustrations from photographs). Gilt-lettered black cloth a little rubbed, sunned and marked; front cover slightly bowed; extremities a little bumped; edges a little foxed and marked; flyleaves lightly discoloured; a very good copy. The autobiography of British soldier, artist and sculptor Adrian Jones (1845-1938). Pages 111-114 (and the plate facing page 96) refer to his Boer War Memorial sculpture at the entrance to Government House at the corner of North Terrace and King William Street, Adelaide. Jones tells the story from the initial request by 'an influential Committee, representing the City of Adelaide' chaired by Sir Kiffin Thomas, to the unveiling in 1904 and Sir William Sowden's letter of appreciation some 21 years later. The Memorial 'was designed along the vigorous lines that appeal so strongly to the Australian people. Indeed, many Australians told me that they thought it the best statue in the country, but this may have been said to please me' (page 112). His 'magnum opus, however, was his "Peace Quadriga", 1912, for Constitution Arch, Hyde Park Corner, his hopes for a major unveiling ceremony (and perhaps even a knighthood) dashed by the death of his great advocate, King Edward VII, in 1910'. ('Public Statues and Sculpture Association' website). With a foreword by Lt.-Gen. Lord Baden-Powell.…

We have been unable to discover much information about the author, Capt Jenkin Jones was a captain in the army and apart from the book offered here he authored of a small number poetical works, and plays. A review of this work in The Monthly Review or Literary Journal, Vol. XXV, 1798, page 105/106 states - ' This poetical allegory is one of the most defective we have seen as a whole, and will not bear a critical examination. . This piece appears to be a whimsical medley of the grave and the ridiculous, the fanciful and the sentimental. ' The author's name suggests he is of Welsh descent, but this work is not recorded in Libri Walliae - 'A catalogue WelshBooksA CATALOGUE OF WELSH BOOKS AND BOOKS PRINTED IN WALES 1546-1820 (2 VOLUMES)1987'.The Dictionary of Welsh Biography notes three authors with the name Jenkin Jones, their dates are much earlier and do not fit in with our author.
