London, Herbert Jenkins Ltd, 1940
A lovely copy of one of the author's best-known collections of short stories, featuring many of his famous characters from the Drones Club such as Mr Mulliner and Ukridge. Uncommon in the original first issue dust-jacket, featuring Fenwick's evocative artwork to upper panel.
First edition, first impression; 8vo; 4pp. publisher's advertisements; publisher's orange cloth, titles to spine in black, with the dust-jacket designed by Fenwick, correctly priced 7'6 on the spine panel, minor spotting to the fore edge, partial browning to the endpapers but an exceptional copy in the lightly frayed and very slightly scuffed dust jacket, unusually fresh and attractive.
