The Gem Library Volume 3 - The Rebel of St. Jim's
Martin Clifford. Howard Baker, 1972. Out of Print. Near Mint. The work of Martin Clifford appeared continuously for over thirty years in those famous Fleetway House magazines The Gem and The Magnet. Undoubtedly the most famous of all of his immortal creations was Billy Bunter, the Fat Owl of the Greyfriars Remove, whose exploits together with those of Harry Wharton and Co. appeared in the latter paper from 1908 to 1940. Almost equally well-known was his uniquely memorable character, the Hon. Arthur Augustus D'Arcy, the Swell of St. Jim's ably supported in Gem stories by Tom Merry, Jack Blake, Talbot (the Toff), Dr. Holmes and many others. Altogether, the brilliant character studies of boys, masters, and local citizens of which he was capable ensured Charles Hamilton's permanent place in the hall of literary fame. 140 pages. Hard Cover Black & White 7" x 10½" (18cm x 26cm) Dust Jacket
