About the Author
Alec Waugh, 1898-1981, was a British novelist born in London and educated at Sherborne Public School, Dorset. Waugh's first novel, The Loom of Youth (1917), is a semi-autobiographical account of public school life that caused some controversy at the time and led to his expulsion. Waugh was the only boy ever to be expelled from The Old Shirburnian Society.
Despite setting this record, Waugh went on to become the successful author of over 50 works, and lived in many exotic places throughout his life which later became the settings for some of his texts. He was also a noted wine connoisseur and campaigned to make the 'cocktail party' a regular feature of 1920s social life.

First Edition

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. 223 pages, a novel by the prolific Alec Waugh, maybe not "erotic" in the modern sense. A respectable civil servant's wife changes her routine and becomes involved in some "quite extraordinary activities" very much out of character. A "marvellous piece of entertainment by a past master of the art". Book just as tad one-sided; mark on rear cover; internally, apart from the occasional mark, clean and tidy. Jacket slightly damaged around top of spine and tops of flap edges; some creasing; some foxing and marks on inside; not price-clipped, now poly-protected. Seller Inventory # V23
