Add to basketHard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Dust Jacket. First Edition. (London: Bantam Press a division of Transworld Publishers Ltd 1999). First UK Edition in dustwrapper. Publisher's red boards with gilt lettering to the spine. Base of spine a little bruised, a touch of age-toning to the fore-edge else near-Fine. Inscribed to the title page by the Author: "To Janie/ Happy Birthday/ Lots of love/ Jilly Cooper". The dustwrapper is priced £16.99 to the inside flap and is also in near fine condition with the base of spine a little bruised and rubbed, a few spots of tarnishing to the gilt lettering on the front panel else near-Fine. The bruising is typical of a book of this size. "If you enjoy broad satire, have a bit of a clue about the British class system and are open to novels that lead you on goose trails with hijinks and shenanigans all the way to a neatly and delightful ending, you can't do better than Jilly Cooper. Her books are, to use the English expression, "a lark ", filled with high comedy, pretentious snobs, salt of the earth types, love stories, romps, successes and rightful devastation of the villains in the plot. The plot, however, is always so serpentine that the reader is usually kept guessing until the end. Farcical fun!" (GoodReads). Further photographs available upon request. Signed by Author.
