Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, spine faded, some yellowing to white parts of jacket, some spotting and offsetting to endpapers, not price clipped (£3.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 124pp. On arrival as a medical orderly at Suez in 1941, Faulkes is surprised and alarmed to be greeted by a ghost from his family's past. 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).…

Dustwrapper bright. ***205mm x 135mm. 124 pages. ***'On arriving at Suez in March 1941 as a medical orderly, it is surprising, even a little alarming, to be greeted by a skeleton straight out of the family cupboard, grinning and dropping hints about the mysterious past. But there Uncle Raymond is, with his loud defensive laugh. One of the hints is a reference to "your aunt". She turns out to be Nadia, a very attractive Copt installed in Cairo, who persistently refuses to answer Raymond's letters no mater how despairing and pleading they might be. Faulkes is enlisted to track her down, an operation which produces results so bizarrely devastating that he is, while being hazy about what happened, marked for the rest of his life. This deft, stylish, beautifully intelligent comedy is P. H. Newby at his most entertaining; happily at home again in the mystery, the farce, the squalor and the splendour of that wartime Egypt where he lived and first won his spurs as one of the most considerable novelists now writing. It will delight his admirers and induce new recruits to swarm happily in their ranks.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Percy Howard Newby CBE (25 June 1918 - 6 September 1997) was an English novelist and broadcasting administrator. He was the first winner of the Booker Prize, his novel "Something to Answer For" having received the inaugural award in 1969.'
