About This Item
London : Faber & Faber, (1958). First edition. "As for sport (said Antrobus), the very word makes me uneasy. I've never believed in its healing power. Once I was forced to referee a match between H.M.S. Threadbare and the French Fleet which resulted in my nearly being dismembered". Ten Antrobus tales of diplomatic life, each neatly captured in a full-page Nicolas Bentley illustration. Post 8vo (21cm). 94,[ii]pp. Illustrations and decorative chapter headings by Bentley. Original turquoise cloth, lettered in yellow; a single tiny edge-spot, but otherwise a very good, clean and sound copy in the Bentley dust-jacket - the jacket also very good.
