WODEHOUSE, P.G.
Bill The Conqueror
New York: George H. Doran, 1924
8vo, pp. 323. Original yellow boards, lettered in black to front panel and spine. Slight age-toning to text block, but an all but fine copy in a near fine dustwrapper, light wear and chipping to spine ends, rear panel just a little marked.
First US edition, preceded by its UK counterpart of the same year.
Part of the plot of Bill The Conqueror was used for the book of the Kern-Bolton-Wodehouse musical of the same year, Sitting Pretty, which opened in New York in April, 1924 -- six months before the book's publication, and a month before its serialisation began in the Saturday Evening Post.
An extremely attractive copy of a book rarely seen in such nice condition.
