There you have it

Tag line:TWO SKILLFUL YOUNG DETECTIVES OVERMATCH A BRACE OF VILLAINS AND PROVE WHAT NERVE AND COURAGE CAN DO.

And an ad for a book, that "Tells how to make the Eggs of Pharo's Serpents, from which, when lighted, though but the size of a pea, there issues from it a coiling, hissing serpent, wonderful in length and similarity to a genuine serpent."

I couldn't cut that out!

Got it from PG and gave it the MTH treatment. (Cover by MTH)

Have fun!
