1st UK edition, preceded by the US publication a few months earlier. [1946]. Stated first print. Blue/grey cloth boards (faded and worn at edges and joints, heavily sunned spine, marked). Marginal page toning. Lacks dust jacket. Good reading copy or collection filler. The book was first published in English in Germany in August 1943, but UK publication was delayed while Wodehouse was under suspicion of collaboration during the Second World War.
