What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

Held in the original, unclipped dustwrapper which was designed by Coward himself. The cloth to this volume is extremely bright, and has retained a lovely condition. Coward wrote many plays, songs and musical theatre works. He is much remembered and celebrated for his flamboyance, both in his life and in his writings. This novel echoes the essence of Coward's character and is a fun, humorous tale that navigates love and society in a fictional British colony. The setting for this novel is the same island he used for his play South Sea Bubble. Coward's novel is set in a British colony and is an insight into life there. It follows Grizel Craigie, and her guest the Duchess of Fowey.
