Grinning and dropping enigmatic hints, there is Uncle Raymond, slyly referring to Faulkes' Aunt. This turns out to be Nadia, the beautiful Copt installed in Cairo, who refuses to answer Raymond's letters, however pleading. Faulkes is enlisted to track her down, but it is an operation so bizarre and bungled, that it will leave all their lives marked. In a deft, stylish and intelligent comedy, Newby evokes all the mystery, farce and splendour of the wartime Egypt that he knew so well. Percy Howard Newby (1918-97), at his entertaining and perceptive best. Newby, who had served in the Egyptian Desert during the War, taught English Literature at King Fouad University in Cairo until 1946 and was later the first winner of the Booker Prize. Quite a scarce book. Jacket by Nicolas Bentley (illustratore).…

Neither could have expected that their old pupil, the eccentric and patriotic Muawiya, would be invited to London by the government. At a time when the maritime powers were setting up the Suez Canal Users Association, Muawiya jeopardized Anglo Egyptian relations still further by his maddening conduct. But Muawiya with his lunatic logic was only one of Edgar Perry's preoccupations. There are many strands woven into a story that is nonetheless serious for its light hearted telling. 'A Guest and His Going' is a shrewd comment on foreign relations, and reveals Howard Newby (1918-97), at his entertaining and perceptive best. Newby, who had served in the Egyptian Desert during the War, taught English Literature at King Fouad University in Cairo until 1946 and was later the first winner of the Booker Prize.
