A humorous tale, and the novelisation of the post-war play by the same writers. The plot focuses around a group of women who spend the night on His Majesty's cruiser Falcon. Ian Hay was the penname for John Hay Beith, a British Schoolmaster and soldier who after the war made a living through writing light comedies, often in collaboration with other authors including P. G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton. He is perhaps best remembered today for The First Hundred Thousand, in which he described with wry humour life in his battalion. It became one of the most popular books of the time, running to multiple editions in both Britain and the USA. Hay here collaborates with Stephen King-Hall, a British naval officer, writer, politician and playwright who provides the insights into Naval life. The play was adapted into a highly-popular film in 1931, starring Owen Nares, Jacqueline Logan, Jack Raine and Dodo Watts. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
