BEST OF BLANDINGS (6 VOLUMES)

by P.G. Wodehouse

Illustrated by Paul Cox

Published by Folio Society. 1st thus. 2004

Almost very good condition. Contains: Summer Lightning; Heavy Weather; Uncle Fred in the Springtime; Full Moon; Pigs have Wings; Service with a Smile. Each volume has illustrated cloth covers and b/w text illustrations.

'Heavy Weather' and 'Summer Lightning' are not originals of this set but rather the single volume reissues of 2009 (to make up set where two volumes were missing, we assume). This is a lovely set of books, contained in publisher's slipcase which is split at edges and therefore a little fragile. Sold with all faults.

Stock no. 1830350
