About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1930. Hardcover. Very Good+/Very Good-. First American edition, second printing (July 1930). Blue cloth boards with gilt lettering. Light fading to edges of cloth. Pages clean. Dust jacket chipped at head and foot of spine; chip to top edge of rear panel; small chip to bottom edge of front panel; spine a bit faded. Abstract Art Deco DJ in clear archival sleeve. 296 pp. 7.5 x 5.5 inches. Stephen McKenna (1888-1967) was a British novelist. In The Datchley Inheritance, old John Datchley, sour and cynical, has willed his fortune. But the catch is, it goes to his first of his nine grandsons who can marry within a year of his death and reside at Datchley Castle for six months of each year. An amusing tale of matrimonial attempts and familial contest.
