First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. First edition. First edition. Oversized hardcover in black cloth lettered and decorated in gilt. Illustrated endpapers. 117 pp. Illustrated with over 125 Ronald Searle cartoons. Fine in very good, price clipped dust jacket with minimal wear at the extremities. Since the first humorous "St. Trinian's School" cartoon appeared in 1941 through the conclusion of the comic strip series in 1952, Ronald Searle unleashed the girls of boarding school on the highly entertained public. The place was actually inspired by a real school (St, Trinnean's in Edinburgh) though the sadistic teachers and juvenile deliquent students were products of Searle's offbeat imagination, more the offspring of Hitchcock-like horror tales than of real ladies' boarding school life. In this volume, the whole ghastly story is brilliantly reconstructed by Siriol Hugh-Jones, with songs, music, additional prep, dirge and epitaph from the hands of a scintillating band of contributors.
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Compiled by Kaye Webb. Contributions from Robert Graves, Bertolt Brecht and C.Day Lewis. Illustrated throughout. Perpetua,1959. Very good in Searle d/w somewhat torn at extremities.
