ISBN10: 0140055770, ISBN13: 9780140055771, [publisher: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, London] Softcover Roald Dahl's first-ever novel presents the scurrilous memoirs of that delightful old reprobate from switch bitch, Oswald Hendryks Cornelius - connoisseur, bon vivant, collector of spiders, scorpions, odd walking sticks, lover of opera, expert on Chinese porcelain, and without doubt the greatest fornicator of all time. In this delightful picaresque story, it is revealed how Uncle Oswald first achieved great wealth - all thanks to the Sundance blister beetle, which when ground to powder has the most electrifying aphrodisiac qualities. It is 1919 - armed with the powder and aided by the beautiful amoral Yasmin how comely, Oswald begins an audacious commercial enterprise which involves seducing the most famous men in Europe - from crowded heads to Bernard Shaw and Marcel Proust. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Penguin. Paperback. Good. This book is ex-stock and unread, but may not be as bright as a newly published book. The paper in some mass market paperbacks has browned because it is a lower quality. However, most of the other books are good to very good, especially the large format and hardcover copies. Penguin ISBN 0140055770 9780140055771 [GB]
