Book
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Condition: FINE. All pages clean with nor markings or notations. Covers show light shelfware. Synopsis: This collection has the dubious distinction of being one of the most pirated books of all time. Since its first appearance in 1928, illegal editions have appeared with remarkable regularity. The reason? Once considered obscene - it reprints a large number of the most savoury' limericks known - it is also very, very funny due in great part to the author's dead-pan commentaries and 'geographical index'. Douglas' erudition effortlessly traverses topics as diverse as the mudflats of Leigh-on-Sea, the dahlias of Central America and the habitat of the Silesian tapeworm.' This edition, Collection "LE BALLET DES MUSES" 1964 contains 89 + [6] pp. Page 68 and 86 are blank, omitting "There was a young fellow called Carey," and "Thus spake I AM THAT I AM" Naughty words appear with one or more letters replaced by spaces or are omitted altogether. About the author: Author Norman Douglas was born in Austria on December 8, 1868 and was educated in England, Germany, and France. In 1893, he joined the British Foreign Office and worked as a diplomat in Russia and Italy. He left the service in 1896 apparently as the result of an indiscreet love affair. He wrote numerous travel books and his only popular success was the novel South Wind, published in 1917. He died in 1952.

Former owner name and Paris penned on front fly and neatly penned former owner notes on rear endpaper. The very good jacket is not price clipped ($5.00). Of further interest is what appears to be a non related jacket only, on witch craft which is a perfect fit over this book. I'm sure there are numerous reasons none of which I have an answer but it will also arrive with this book exactly as I found it. (This book is in our possession.
