About This Item
Chapman & Hall Ltd. London 1942. FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (7.4 x 5.2 inches). A little light foxing to the first few leaves otherwise a bright and clean copy in the publishers oatmeal cloth with dark blue lettering to the spine. In the original colour illustrated dustwrapper which has been price clipped to the front inner flap. Repair to the reverse of the wrapper covering some loss to the bottom of the wrapper spine, affecting the lettering of the word and in the publishers name, and tape used to strengthen the corners. A few small splits to the extremities, without loss, and some rubbing to the edges. Overall a very good book in a near to very good example of this fragile war time wrapper.
Synopsis
Put Out More Flags, the sixth novel by Evelyn Waugh, was first published by Chapman and Hall in 1942. The novel is set during the first year of the Second World War, and follows the wartime activities of characters introduced in Waugh's earlier satirical novels Decline and Fall, Vile Bodies and Black Mischief. The title of the novel comes from the saying of an anonymous Chinese sage, quoted and translated by Lin Yutang in The Importance of Living (1937).
