A map, sixteen illustrations, and regional ballads are included.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0815625472\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0815625472.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Everest, Allan Seymour\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
