About This Item
London and Melbourne: Ward, Lock and Co., Ltd, 1947. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine cloth copy in a very good, slightly edge-nicked and dust-dulled dust wrapper, now mylar-sleeved. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and sharp-cornered. Physical description: 286 pages, 19 cm. Notes: Includes previous owner's inscription. Summary: These stories, written in response to huge popular demand, give us classic Berry Pleydell - Yates' finest comic character - at the top of his form. The first story sees Berry capturing a German spy at a village cricket match in 1914, and things get more bizarre from then on. A self-consciously nostalgic work harking back to more decorous days consisting of tense plotting and high farce of the best kind. Genre: Humourous Fiction.
