P.G. Wodehouse - Uncle Fred In The Springtime - 1939 Madcap British Humor

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-CA X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Offered here is a vintage copy filled with madcap hijinks by the British comedic master P.G. Wodehouse (1881-1975). This time, Frederick Altamont Cornwallis Twistleton, Fifth Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred, at the request of Lord Emsworth, journeys to Blandings Castle to steal the prize pig the Empress of Blandings before the ill-tempered, egg-throwing Duke of Dunstable can lay claim to her. Uncle Fred sets out masquerading as a famous brain specialist Sir Roderick Glossop, with his distressed nephew Pongo in tow. Uncle Fred must not only steal the pig but also diagnose various members of the upper class with imaginary mental illnesses as well as reunite a young couple, all before Uncle Fred’s domineering wife realizes he’s done a runner from their country estate. Title page reads: Uncle Fred in the Springtime by P.G. Wodehouse – Published by Herbert Jenkins, London - - Second Printing. Although no date is given, the second printing apparently was issued the same year as the first printing in 1939. This 311 page, 7 ½ by 5 inch hardcover is in fairly good condition. The pages are clear. There is a small personal inscription J. Edwin Wilson Garden Hill in pen on the inside front endpaper. There is an 8 page list of other Wodehouse titles at the back. The binding is solid. The orange cloth cover with black cover and spine title has just a bit of wear along the edges. Shipping Terms: We ship Worldwide - including the United States.
