About this Item

Half title with synopses on verso, 10pp cata.; prelims & cata. a bit browned & spotted, the odd spot throughout. Orig. orange cloth, blocked & lettered in black; extremities sl. rubbed, spine a bit worn at head & chipped at tail, a few small marks, but still a decent copy. Not in Glover & Greene. Not in Hubin. From 'what the story is about': 'One cannot talk of the Lady Noggs l'enfant terrible, for the Lady Noggs is too dignified a personage to be classified thus. Even her guardian, the Prime Minister, stands in awe of her. Her prevention of an undesirable marriage in the family, the rescue of her guardian from assassination by the Reds, the outwitting of her kidnapper, are all conducted with a coolness and assurance worthy of her twelve years. The Lady Noggs knows what she wants and goes the right way to get it.' Edgar Alfred Jepson, 1863-1938, was mainly a writer of adventure and detective stories, though did also write supernatural and fantasy fiction. He was a member of the Edwardian writer's dining club the Square Club, and the New Bohemians drinking club, and was a close friend of Ford Madox Ford.
