Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Dave Dawson at Dunkirk marks the very beginning of Robert Sidney Bowen\'s classic series of World War II adventure stories for boys. Published in 1941, barely a year after the disastrous Allied retreat at Dunkirk, this novel struck a chord among members of the American and British public, selling extraordinarily well in paperback form. We join the protagonist Dave Dawson, who must escape the German war machine against all odds during what is arguably the most chaotic retreat in the history of warfare. The success of his premier fiction led Bowen to produce no fewer than fourteen sequels, all of which starred his gallant, brave and courageous hero Dave Dawson. Dawson himself mirrors his creator (a former RAF pilot in World War One) with the prolific adventures and successes he enjoys in a variety of locations during the Second World War. Today the Dave Dawson series remains quite popular, in part for their readability and the memories they gave to the wartime generation of youngsters who enjoyed them. This edition is presented unabridged and complete.
