New York: The Macmillan Company. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1953. First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [modest shelfwear to bottom edge, light dust-soiling to top of text block, contemporaneous gift inscription (non-authorial) at top of front endpaper; jacket has minor paper loss at both ends of spine and at several corners, a handful of small nicks and tiny tears along top edge of rear panel]. The astonishing madcap life of "Poker, otherwise known as Henry Mahommet Bowling, 26th Baron Bowling and 18th Earl of Tintagil," a man who possessed "the bland courage to live with all five ex-wives and fifteen children under one roof -- and manage[d] to do so, moreover, in such astonishing harmony." The Chicago Tribune reviewer thought it "one of the wittiest, most urbane novels of our time, peopled with characters who are believable and whose actions are altogether human and understandable." .
