About This Item

Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1925. First Edition, First Printing. Good/No Dust Jacket.

Green cloth with black titles and front decoration. 7.5 inches tall;  322 pages.

The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with spotting on the spine. previous owner's name on the front pastedown.. In this delightful comedic tale, two affluent middle-aged businessmen from London find themselves on a hilariously misguided mission imposed by their father: spend their wealth.

Their misadventures in attempting to squander their fortunes include ill-fated attempts to support ventures like a musical comedy, an open-air theatre, a new golf club, and various other risky enterprises.

The uproarious escapades that unfold as they struggle to lose money are sure to entertain and amuse readers, making this novel a delightful and lighthearted read.

The plot is similar to that of Brewster's Millions, and relies on a degree of Wodehousian humour.

It was adapted into the 1926 American silent film Millionaires directed by Herman C. Raymaker and starring George Sidney, Louise Fazenda and Vera Gordon.
