Small contemporary date inscription to ffep. Free of foxing, contents unblemished throughout. Covers are fine, bright and unmarked. In original pictorial VG+ dust jacket with publisher's printed price of 2/6 to spine. In P.G. Wodehouse's delightful novel, "The Girl on the Boat," the spirited and independent Billie Bennett sets sail from New York to England, accompanied by an unlikely trio of suitors: her long-time admirer, the timid poet Eustace Hignett; his dashing cousin, the adventurous Bream Mortimer; and the enigmatic American Sam Marlowe. As the ship crosses the Atlantic, a whirlwind of romantic entanglements and hilarious misadventures ensues. Billie, caught between the affections of her three admirers, finds herself navigating a sea of confusion and amusement. Eustace's timidity and Bream's recklessness prove to be no match for Sam's charm and adventurous spirit, and Billie's affections begin to sway. Amidst the romantic chaos, a series of comical escapades unfold, including a disastrous attempt at a shipboard concert and a disastrous encounter with a formidable American tycoon. With his signature wit and masterful storytelling, Wodehouse weaves a tale of love, laughter, and the unpredictable nature of human relationships.
