Notes

Penguin books 725 (so printed base of spine and on fly-page).

based closely upon the autobiographical account of his life, particularly during the 1775-83 USA revolution/war of independence, by roger lamb of the ninth foot regiment (later the royal norfolk regt.): cf. graves' basing upon suetonius' account of his two-novel fictionalisation of the life and times of emperor claudius in I, Claudius & Claudius the God and his wife, Messalina.

352pp incl. titles;
inside back cover lists the first forty-five books published in penguins "by special arrangement with" the london publishers chatto & windus, faber & faber°, hamish hamilton, heinemann, & michael joseph.

° - faber & faber in fact had (& was founded by) only the one faber, geoffrey, who invented a fictitious second faber to make his firm sound more english, and perhaps more firmly & soundly-based.
