independent illustrated novel, third of the mumfie books featuring the adventures of title character small elephant and his best friend, scarecrow, as they encounter sunken treasure, sailing ship, pirates, the villainous davy jones and the deposed and imprisoned rightful captain, in the course of finding and rescuing the kidnapped selina, upon whose bed mumfie first awoke in this world as one of her christmas presents, two years earlier.

preceded by wanderings of mumfie 1935; here comes mumfie 1936; followed by mumfie's magic box 1938; mumfie's uncle samuel 1939; and the unfortunate mumfie marches on 1942; avoid this last unless interested in propagandistic wartime writing.
