Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First edition, fourth impression, undated but believed to be about 1930. No Jacket, red cloth boards with black titling and Jenkins' prancing centaur stamped on base of spine. Boards somewhat time worn and dulled, boards slightly damp warped and time stained, corners slightly rubbed and bruised, slight lean.

Blandings Castle is in uproar and there are suspects a plenty, from Galahad Threepwood (who is writing memoirs so scandalous they will rock the aristocracy to its foundations) to the efficient Baxter, chilling former secretary to Lord Emsworth. Even Beach the Butler seems deeply embroiled. And what of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, Clarence's arch rival, and his passion for prize winning pigs? This comic masterpiece is vintage Blandings, and P.G. Wodehouse at his best.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Reprint. First published in 1928, this is a fifth impression of 1936. Orange boards with black titling and Jenkins' prancing centaur on base of spine. No jacket, boards slightly scuffed at extremities, corners slightly rubbed and bruised, previous owner's name in pencil to ffep, slight foxing to page block, internally quite clean and tight, overall a vg copy for its age. 312pp. The peaceful slumber of the Worcester village of Rudge in the Vale is about to be rudely disrupted. First there's a bitter feud between peppery Colonel Wyvern and the Squire of Rudge Hall, rich but miserly Lester Carmody. Second, that arch villain Chimp Twist has opened a health farm, and he and Soapy and Dolly Molloy are planning a fake burglary so Lester can diddle his insurance company. After the knockout drops are served, things get a little complicated. But will Lester's nephew John win over his true love, Colonel Wyvern's daughter Pat, and restore tranquillity to the idyll? It's a close run thing.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Helena Masters (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, subsequent impression with number line '4 6 8 10 9 7 5 3'. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£30.00), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks hardly read. 602pp, illustrated. One of the funniest and most admired writers of the twentieth century, P. G. Wodehouse always shied away from the idea of a biography. A quiet, retiring man, he expressed himself through the written word. His letters, collected and expertly edited here, provide an illuminating biographical accompaniment to legendary comic creations such as Jeeves, Bertie Wooster, Psmith and the Empress of Blandings. Drawing on hitherto unpublished sources, these letters give an unrivalled insight into Wodehouse, covering his schooldays at Dulwich College, the family's financial reverses which saw his hopes of university dashed, life in New York working in musical comedy with Jerome Kern and George and Ira Gershwin, the years of fame as a novelist, and the unhappy episode in 1940 where he was interned by the Germans and later erroneously accused of broadcasting pro Nazi propaganda. It is a book every lover of Wodehouse will want to possess.

Some edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of jacket and spine, 1"loss to top of spine and front jacket, corners rubbed with small loss, folds slightly rubbed, slight time staining to back jacket, but overall jacket bright and unsunned. Not price clipped (8/6), no inscriptions, slight lean, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 252pp. When the moon is full at Blandings, strange things happen, among them the commissioning of a portrait of The Empress, twice in succession winner in the Fat Pigs Class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show. What better choice of artist, in Lord Emsworth's opinion, than Landseer, the renowned painter of The Stag at Bay may have been dead for decades, but that doesn't prevent Galahad Threepwood from introducing him to the castle, or rather introducing Bill Lister, Gally's godson, so desperately in love with Prudence that he's determined to enter Blandings in yet another imposture. Add a gaggle of fearsome aunts, uncles and millionaires, mix in Freddie Threepwood, Beach the Butler and the gardener McAllister, and the moon is full indeed. Classic Wodehouse.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
All items in good condition, with minor signs of age. The drafts are both printed on yellow paper. Each is 4pp., 4to. The two appear the same textually, but one has two slips of paper with amended text attached, and the autograph emendations to the two are different from one another. Also present is a leaf from 'Lifewise' magazine, November 1993, with one page carrying Pitt's memoir, accompanied by a photograph of Wodehouse being interviewed at Tost by Angus Thuermer. The piece begins: 'I first saw P. G. Wodehouse from behind the barred window of a prison cell in Upper Silesia, and was not at that moment particularly interested in who he might be.' The interment camp is 'Ilag VIII b, Tost', and Pitt recalls his conversations with Wodehouse ('Oh, Lord. Time to feed. Wonder what colour gravy they've boiled the old socks in today?'), and Wodehouse's advice regarding a short stoy by Pitt and its possible publication ('I wrote Latin hexameters at Dulwich: very useful when it comes to writing lyrics. Cole Porter and I always tried 'em out in Latin first. Showed up the flat spots immediately!'). Pitt is also alowed to 'look through the first chapters of Money in the Bank', which he discusses with Wodehouse. Towards the end he writes: 'I have no idea of the date, but the time came when I watched him being escorted down the staircase by a somewhat sinister character and by Sonderfuhrer Heide and two German guards, and the next thing I knew was that he had been released and was living in Berlin.' Together with the drafts and magazine version of the article, there are also typewritten copies of two letters from Pitt. The first, to Bernard Kaukas of the Savage Club, 2 April 1992, enquires whether Wodehouse was a member of the Club. The second, to Diana Shine of the Society of Authors, 21 March 1992, offers the article for publication in the Society's magazine 'The Author'. The collection also includes a TLS to Pitt from Derek Parker, editor of 'The Author', 27 March 1992, explaining the reasons for declining the piece. Also present is a photocopy of the article as printed in the journal of the Wodehouse Society, 'Plum Lines', Summer 1995.
