Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. "Lady Noggs, Peeress" a novel by Edgar Jepson, is a delightful comedy centered around a young girl of genteel upbringing named Felicia, but who insists everyone call her Nogg (or else!). She is mischievous, and quite a handful. But underneath it all she has a perceptive mind and is basically a sober and well meaning individual - even if her daily demeanor to the adults about her is rather rambunctious. She knows what she wants and - she usually gets it. The book is episodic in nature, with chapters laid out like beads on a string. Some feel the book was written for children, but I feel that it is more in the line of John Habberton's "Helen's Babies", which was written for adults. That book was quite popular, and this book, Lady Noggs, Peeress" was equally popular. It is likely that it seemed a breath of fresh air with its lightness and comedic situations. Nobody ever seriously comes to harm, - although there are a few bumped heads and bruised egos. This edition, the second printing , issued by McClure, Phillips and Company in its "Special Edition Series", was published in 1905. The book is charmingly illustrated by cartoonist, illustrator Lewis Baumer. A British silent film was made of the book in 1920, starring Joan Morgan as the irrepressible Noggs, and George Bellamy as the always slightly bemused Lord Errington, who in the book is called The Prime Minister, and who is Noggs's Uncle - and in whose rather palatial house our young heroine lives. SERIES : Special Edition Series TITLE : Lady Noggs, Peeress AUTHOR : Edgar Jepson (1863 - 1938) Jepson was a rather prolific English author - novelist, who was one of the Georgians referred to as New Bohemians. He was a member of the Square Club; he collaborated with other authors, including Arthur Machen; he was a friend of Ford Madox Ford, and, for a time, editor of "Vanity Fair". Much of his fictional output were romantic thrillers and detective fiction - although he also dipped into fantasy and the supernatural for a few stories. I am glad he varied his subject matter for thus we have the entertaining Noggs. ILLUSTRATOR : Lewis Baumer (1870 - 1963) [Prolific and much collected English artist - cartoonist- and illustrator.
