About This Item
London: Herbert Jenkins, 1965. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, with unclipped d/j (in protective sleeve); red boards, gilt spine titling bright; text block firm, pages crisp and unmarked. Provenance: Carlota Frahm, literary agent. Scarce in this condition.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). Sam Bagshott, son of the late Boko Bagshott, had been at Blandings Castle only a short while, but long enough to know that anyone enjoying its hospitality must get the occasional shock. Sam braced himself as the possibilities flitted through his mind. The house was on fire? Empress of Blandings had taken to the bottle again? Constable Evans had arrived with a search warrant? There was a wide area of speculation, and he was prepared for bad news in any form. In any form, that is to say, except the one in which it came. First published in the previous month in the US as 'The Brinkmanship of Galahad Threepwood.
