Again an experiment in bringing to the fore a novel of earlier
date, by an author whose recent work has widened his market.
Woollcott felt that Waugh was England's most gifted ??novelist the
publishers feel that this early novel deserves to be available
again. An extravaganza, a satire on old school tie, on smart set
house-parties, on a social order which the war is bringing to its
end. Line up your Waugh enthusiasts tell them this reissue of his
first novel is in the offing. (Kirkus Reviews)
Sent down from Oxford for indecent behaviour, Paul Pennyfeather embarks on a series of bizarre adventures that start in a minor public school and end in one of HM prisons. In this, his first and funniest novel, Evelyn Waugh immediately caught the ear of the public with his account of an ingénue abroad in the razzmatazz of Twenties high society.
