Flat-signed in black pen to title page: "Geo. Robey". POI to front pastedown, a few spots, else, clean. A robust fan-tweaked copy of Robey's collection of humorous tales. Good+ As the tipped-in itinerary for the Hull Palace Theatre suggests, Sir George Robey (1869-1954) was a celebrated comedian and actor. In his heyday on the music hall circuit, and as Bateman's board illustration suggests, his trademark costume was that of a dissolute, unfrocked clergyman, who developed his own brand of "honest vulgarity" (ODNB).
