DOYLE, Adrian Conan. — Heaven Has Claws

Near Fine Very Good 1st Edition John Murray London Octavo. First impression, first edition on copyright page. Light-green boards, white title on spine. Frontispiece and illustrations in B/W printed on glossy paper, one map inside. Contents very clean and fresh. Price-clipped from dust jacket, slighty wear on edges. "Adrian Conan Doyle with the spirit and zest for adventure that marked the achievement of his father Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has good reason for suggesting that the world of to-day is less tame and less charted than in commonly supposed. In this book he tells vividly the story of an expedition he made with his wife to the Indian Ocean exploring the wild coast islands of the Mafia Channel and the seas of Zanzibar, Kilwa Kisiwani and the ruins of the Palace of Songa Manara."
