In den WarenkorbFIRST EDITION. Half title, v. sl. spotting to prelims. Orig. yellow cloth; v. sl. marked. Buff pictorial d.w., clipped; a little rubbed & marked, rear panel sl. creased with two small closed tears. A nice copy. An early novel of White's, in which a buttoned-up Cambridge don has some erotic adventures with a liberated foreign typ…e. The book was published under a pseudonym for fear of causing scandal, as White was then working as a teacher. The effort was in vain: one of his students read it and he was hauled up before the headmaster. The sexual antics are unlikely to startle even the most sheltered modern reader, but White is such an astute scholar of English stuffiness that there's humour to be had nonetheless.
