About This Item
UK: Herbert Jenkins, 1947. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Full Moon by P.G. Wodehouse First Edition Herbert Jenkins 1947. A fine copy that has no previous owner's name inscriptions and is completely free of any foxing or toning to contents or edges. Dust jacket is fine, bright and without nicks, tears, creasing or fading. Not price clipped. "Full Moon" is a delightful comedic novel by P.G. Wodehouse. The story follows the misadventures of the amiable and bumbling protagonist, Frederick Twistleton, as he navigates the unpredictable world of love and romance. When Freddie falls head over heels for Elizabeth, the niece of his strict employer Sir Raymond, hilarity ensues. Complicating matters are the presence of a stolen scarab, mistaken identities, and a troupe of Shakespearean actors. With Wodehouse's signature wit and wordplay, "Full Moon" takes readers on a whimsical journey through absurd situations, misunderstandings, and unexpected twists, leaving them laughing and thoroughly entertained until the very last page.
Synopsis
'You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour. ' Stephen Fry.A Blandings novelWhen the moon is full at Blandings, strange things happen: among them the painting of a portrait of The Empress, twice in succession winner in the Fat Pigs Class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show. What better choice of artist, in Lord Emsworth's opinion, than Landseer. The renowned painter of The Stag at Bay may have been dead for decades, but that doesn't prevent Galahad Threepwood from introducing him to the castle - or rather introducing Bill Lister, Gally's godson, so desperately in love with Prudence that he's determined to enter Blandings in yet another imposture. Add a gaggle of fearsome aunts, uncles and millionaires, mix in Freddie Threepwood, Beach the Butler and the gardener McAllister, and the moon is full indeed.
