Home at last after her Australian adventures, Kit Hunter, brilliant young horsewoman, settles to the life she loves best-training and jumping Colonel Hamden's horses in her beloved Devonshire, aided by her friend, Mary Trent. One night Kit surprises a stealthy intruder in Moor Grange itself and can't believe that it was any casual prowler. A long investigation begins to seem pointless-but when Kit finds herself in danger of being barred from a contest she has set her heart on winning, she is doubly determined to get at the truth. How Kit unravels a particularly tangled thread and turns the tables on old rivals, and new enemies alike-makes another exciting story of horse riding, show jumping, and intrigue.  Very Good Price: 25.00 (AUD) Book Number: 0006120  Bookseller: Eccleston Books & Curios Postage Rates     Kit Hunter Show Jumper in Rival Riders Grey, Peter World Distributors London  circa 1960's 8vo Hard Cover Publishers original pictorial pink boards with maroon lettering on white panel to spine.

Firmly established as a champion horsewoman, Kit Hunter, with her friend Mary Trent, plans a tour of Europe, to enter show-jumping contests, and build up the prestige of Colonel Hamden's Moor Grange Stables. Travelling in a super caravan, the trio meets many difficulties, and Kit finds herself up against a formidable rival in a young French rider, Françoise Dubois. Françoise is as unscrupulous as she is skilful, and but for Pierre Latour, another young rider, the team would have been stranded through her scheming. Pierre takes them all to his family home, a beautiful chateau near a small town which Pierre hopes will be chosen as the location of an important horse show. Despite the holiday atmosphere Kit realizes that her rival, Françoise, is involved in a plot to get the show located at a rival town. Kit's triumph in a tense show-jumping contest brings her rival's plans to nothing.  Very Good Price: 15.00 (AUD) Book Number: 0006121  Bookseller: Eccleston Books & Curios Postage Rates     Kit Hunter Show Jumper in The Mystery of the Mine Grey, Peter World Distributors London 1960 First Edition 8vo Hard Cover Publishers original pictorial pink boards with maroon lettering on white panel to spine.

Kit Hunter, young star of the show jumping world, reaches Singapore on her way home from her adventurous Australian tour. At a race meeting she meets another big cattleman from Australia who wants to buy horses from the Moor Grange Stable. It seems foolish to refuse the chance-since the object of Kit's original trip was to arouse Australian interest in Moor Grange stock-yet the Colonel is urgently needed at home in Devon. Kit and Mary decide to return to Australia by themselves to advise the cattleman on his needs. Unexpectedly, Kit and Mary find themselves plunged into another adventure, far removed from their original plans-the strange mystery of the mine whose secret is guarded by a ghost!  Very Good Price: 25.00 (AUD) Book Number: 0006122  Bookseller: Eccleston Books & Curios Postage Rates     Shirley Flight Air Hostess in Desert Adventure DALE, Judith World Distributors London  circa 1960's 8vo Hard Cover Publishers original blue cloth with white planes illustration on covers and white lettering to blue panel on spine.

'When I am old enough, I want to be a nurse'. How many young girls have spoken these words? And how many, as they grow older, have hesitated and then turn aside their purpose on the realisation of the few practical disadvantages connected with the profession? To such girls we recommend this book. It is not a treatise on Nursing; it is an absorbing story about Hospital life. It tells how young Jean Hunter receives special permission from the Matron of St. Mary's Hospital to visit her cousin who is a nurse there, and to see over the hospital itself. As she sees the wards, the theatre, the Nurses' Home and many other aspects of hospital life, Jean becomes increasingly thrilled, and eager to enter this vital and rewarding profession.  Very Good Price: 25.00 (AUD) Book Number: 0006127  Bookseller: Eccleston Books & Curios Postage Rates     Cherry Ames Flight Nurse WELLS, Helen World Distributors London 1959 Reprint 8vo Hard Cover Publishers original red cloth with black illustration of nurse on front cover and black lettering to spine.
