Peter O'Donnell - Sabre-Tooth (Oxford University edition)

First published in 1966 - in the U.K. by Souvenir Press and in the U.S. by Doubleday (both in hardback). This Oxford University Press adaptation, intended for foreign students without a full English vocabulary, was published in 1980. Peter O'Donnell died yesterday, a month after his ninetieth birthday - so this is my small thank you to him, one of the more unusual items in my extensive Modesty Blaise collection, and one of the best visual interpretations of Modesty (by Andrew Farley), after Jim Holdaway and Enric Romero of course.
