CLARENCE THE BOY SCOUT SAVES ENGLAND
32. The Swoop! WODEHOUSE, P.G.
Alston Rivers Ltd., 1909. First edition. Original pictorial wrappers printed in orange and black. Illustrated with cartoon style drawings by C. Harrison. A very good copy indeed with a short split to the joint at the base of the spine neatly repaired and minor wear to the spine ends. Internally exceptionally clean. An unusually fresh copy. [40258] £5,750 A short comic novel, issued only in paper wrappers, to be sold as cheap fiction at train stations and news stands. Due to its construction very few copies have survived in anything like accept- able condition. “ The Swoop and The Globe by the Way Book are among the rarest Wodehousiana” - Eileen McIlvaine ( P.G.Wodehouse A Comprehensive Bibliography )
THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF JEEVES AND WOOSTER
33. The Man With Two Left Feet WODEHOUSE, P.G.
Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1917. First edition. Original salmon cloth titled in black to the upper cover and spine. A near very good copy with the spine faded and somewhat frayed, particularly at the base of the rear joint. Internally sound with scattered foxing throughout. By no means an unacceptable copy of a book which is seldom offered for sale and invariably in poor condition. [42118] £6,000
One of the rarest of all Wodehouse titles, notable for containing the first appearance in book form of Bertie Wooster and his manser - vant Jeeves, who both feature in the story ‘Extricating Young Gussie’.
