About This Item
London, Glasgow, Sydney, Auckland: W. Collins sons & Co, 1926. 1st. hardback. Good, 1st edition, signed on ffep, missing d/j, blue boards, red ruling and cover titling; missing spine cover, text block firm, slight foxing.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). Denham Dobie has been brought up in Andorra by her father, a retired clergyman. On his death, she is snatched from this reclusive life and thrown into the social whirl of London by her sophisticated relatives. Denham, however, provides a candid response to the niceties of 'civilised' behaviour. CREWE TRAIN is one of Macaulay's wittiest satires. The reactions of Denham to the manners and modes of the highbrow circle in which she finds herself provide a devastating - and very funny - social commentary as well as a moving story.
