Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. First Ed USA; unstated. Very Good+ in Very Good+ DJ: Both book and DJ show indications of very careful use. Book shows light wear to the extremtiies; the binding leans a little, but remains perfecltly secure; text clean. DJ shows only a touch of wear to the head and heel of the backstrip: mild rubbing and the faintest… soiling; price has been clipped; mylar-protected. Overall, remains a clean, sturdy, presentable copy with a clean text and with a DJ in similar condition. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 104pp. Black cloth w/ith red & silver titles at the backstrip; silver Searle drawing at the front panel, black & white illustrations throughout, 104 pp. Illustrated by Ronald Searle. First Ed USA; unstated. Previously released in Great Britain as "Whizz for Atomms". Hardback with DJ. Ronald Searle was one of Britain's best-loved cartoonists, and Geoffrey Willans (if I remember correctly) a former teacher. If there is such a thing as a composite genius, then Willans and Searle surely were one. The Molesworth books purport to be instructional manuals by an English public schoolboy named Nigel Molesworth, about how to survive the school experience. From the day the first was published in 1953, they became a wild success, especially with schoolchildren. They are still in print and still eminently applicable (which says something both about the quality of the books, and about the nature of the British school system, which even at that point hadn't changed much in 400 years). The wild misspelling that permeates them caused hysteria among parents, and their removal from many school libraries (the books, not the parents). Nevertheless, many phrases from them have since gone into the English lexicon, particularly "enuff said" and "as any fule kno".
