WODEHOUSE, P.G. The Swoop! Or How Clarence Saved England, A Tale of the Great Invasion

Alston Rivers Ltd., 1909.

First edition. Original pictorial wrappers printed in orange and black. Illustrated with cartoon style drawings by C. Harrison. A very good copy which has had the spine relaid, preserving most of the original paper spine, but missing about an inch at either end. A few minor marks to the rear cover, but a generally bright copy. Internally light foxing to the preliminary leaves but otherwise notably clean. Housed in a clamshell box.

A short comic novel, issued only in paper wrappers, to be sold as cheap fiction at train stations and news stands. Due to its construction very few copies have survived in anything like acceptable condition.
