Hardback. Etat : Good. Stories for Boys (1978) by Leonard Gribble ? Hamlyn ? ISBN: 0601086317 ? Condition: Good ? Sold by Crappy Old Books Before tablets were things you charged and not things you swallowed, there were books like this?sturdy, square-shouldered volumes stuffed with escapades that begin with ?It was only meant to be a harmless?? and end with a prefect, a policeman, or a very cross uncle. Leonard Gribble?s Stories for Boys (1978) is a time capsule from the age of packed lunches wrapped in actual paper, when a torch under the duvet was a reading strategy, not a metaphor. Expect brisk adventures where bicycles are practically co-stars, pocket money stretches to the horizon, and resourcefulness is measured in string, pocketknives, and sheer pluck. There are daring scrapes, suspicious strangers, improbable clues, and an ironclad belief that a day well spent includes at least one tree, one mystery, and a dog with Opinions. The prose is clean and clipped, like a school haircut, and the pace is pure downhill-on-gravel: fast, slightly alarming, and somehow wholesome. 1978 also means delightfully concentrated nostalgia: crisp school caps, sensible jumpers, and moral compasses that point firmly to ?tell the truth (eventually).? A few period attitudes wander through like aunties at a village fête?smile politely, take the bunting, enjoy the brass band. Gribble?s hallmark is here in full: plots that sprint, villains who glower, heroes who learn just enough to try it all again tomorrow. About this copy (from your long-suffering friends at Crappy Old Books): Condition is Good , which here means ?ready for duty.? We?ve repaired the internal hinges front and back , so the binding is now gratifyingly good and strong ?turn the pages with reckless confidence. Some gentle evidence of former boyhood may be present (we won?t snitch), but the text is intact, the paper pleasantly old-bookish, and the cover still proud of its job. Buy it for the crackle of a campfire you can hear in the sentences. Keep it for the moment a small human asks, ?What did you read when you were my age?? Read it yourself for the joy of remembering that adventure used to begin the second you put the book down? and occasionally, halfway through chapter three. N° de réf. du vendeur 4671
