Captain of the Caryatid

"As commander of the lighthouse tender Caryatid, Captain Septimus Macready presides over the peaceful Celtic port of Porth Ardur, dominating the activities of its mariners and cutting a dash at the local ballroom-dancing club. And for new second officer Charlie Farthing, it feels as though he has found the home he's always dreamt of. But the tranquility of the town is disturbed when ambitious new Harbour Master, James St John Stanier is appointed to Porth Ardur, wearing his authority on his sleeve and determined to make his mark. The Caryatid's course and the Harbour Master's ambitions move towards an inevitable collision on the lovely island of Ynyscraven, second home to the Caryatid's crew." Book has the usual stamps and stickers, a small biro inscription on the back inside board, library issue boards and a slight spine lean. The jacket is in lovely condition and is not price-clipped.
