Three Fevers

£6.00

Penguin 1st Edition, published 1944.

Set in a lightly fictionalised version of the North Yorkshire fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay in the inter-year wars, Three Fevers is the story of the fishing community who scrape a living from the sea in whatever way they can. Focusing on two families, the Fosdycks (long-established in the village) and the more recently arrived Lunns, the novel excels in recreating real working life as it was lived; in fact, much of it reads more like high quality reportage than fiction. Leo Walmsley certainly knew his stuff - he grew up in Robin Hood's Bay and then returned to live there later in life, and his descriptions of the sea, the fishermen's skill in reading natural signs, and especially, the weather in all its guises makes for fascinating and often thrilling reading.

Condition grading: Fair. Losses to front cover corners. Some wear and damage to spine ends. Losses to top edge and bottom corners of rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
