    Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. This copy is in fine condition bound in floral cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. A dustwrapper is not present. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This scarce copy is number 96 of a limited edition of 600 and has been signed by the author on the limitation page to the rear of the book. There is a neat gift inscription to the f.e.p. dated 1973. Laid in is the front flap of the dustwrapper and a photograph of the author. When John St John joined the Royal Marines at the outbreak of war, he found on entering the mess that 'I was the youngest, and the eldest was thirty-six: a short, peppery-looking person called Evelyn Waugh . . . without knowing it I had also become a Halberdier'. Although the two men had little in common - the one a young radical, the other a nearly middle-age reactionary urging him to read 'The Tablet' - they formed a close wartime friendship. Together they shared the ordeals of basic training, the defence of the Cornish coast, and finally the aborted attack on Dakar. Waugh drew heavily upon this time in the Royal Marines when he came to write about the war, and John St John took part in many of the events that later appeared in 'Put Out More Flags' and the 'Sword of Honour' trilogy. Here the Waugh enthusiast will find the characters and events that inspired Ben Ritchie-Hook, Sergeant Cork, Kut-al-Imara House and many others. The book is illustrated with thirty two hilarious line drawings by Peter MacKarell, which brilliantly recapture the hectic early months of the war. They are the perfect match for John St John's witty and informative text. Ref AAA 1. Peter MacKarell (illustrator).…

A lighthearted Whittington Press publication presenting a selection of Victorian puns, introduced by Bevis Hillier. The first section offers a short history of the pun in English literary culture, while the second gathers examples from nineteenth-century collections such as Hugh Rowley's Puniana and More Puniana. The material ranges from well-known wordplay attributed (often apocryphally) to figures such as Pope Gregory and Lewis Carroll to more elaborate and obscure examples typical of Victorian humour. Peter MacKarell's illustrations extend the wordplay visually, often amplifying or reinterpreting the jokes in image form, creating a close interaction between text and drawing. The result is a deliberately playful book that reflects the Whittington Press's occasional interest in lighter, more humorous subjects alongside its more formal fine-press output. Bevis Hillier is an art historian and journalist known for his writing on decorative arts and design. He has held editorial positions at The Connoisseur and previously worked in journalism and at the British Museum, combining scholarly interests with a strong sense of humour and wordplay, both of which are evident in this introduction.
