Description

2 vols., 8vo., First Edition, with frontispieces, numerous photographs, illustrations and facsimiles (several full-page) and double-page plan in the text, front endpaper map in second volume, small neat contemporary signature on front free endpaper of first volume; blue cloth, gilt backs, a very good, bright, clean set in unclipped dustwrapper. With dustwrapper artwork by John Watton. The first volume culminates with the author's 'home run' in 1942. Reid's two classics of POW ife and escape began a virtual sub-industry (of astonishingly variable quality) including dozens of later books, several feature films, countless magazine pieces and a long-running TV series. There is, however, no mistaking the calibre of the original. Now that Colditz is to become (in part at least) a youth hostel, interest in its wartime role will only grow. SETS OF THE ORIGINAL EDITIONS ARE VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p. 151.
