Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 5th or later Edition. Surprisingly uncommon, with the front cover illustration that's then repeated in the colour frontispiece opposite the title page ("Evans slipped a noose over the victim's head and shoulders and ran it taut"). Inscribed on the half-title page, "With love from RON to Gerald. Xmas 1926, Good luck", and on the blank page before that, written in pencil in a different hand, is the name G. Hartley. Presumably he's the lucky (or unlucky) Gerald. The novel itself is very well described by the historian Alwyn Turner on his Wordpress blog called Lion & Unicorn. (The piece is called Imperial fiction: Bully, Fag and Hero, published 25 September 2020. It's highly recommended. Turner has a good eye for quotations and understands this genre of book, of which he judges Bully, Fag and Hero to be a "decent, very readable" example). The book itself is in good condition, with hardly any spotting to the body of the pages, and only a little around the edges of the pages when viewed as a block. The binding's still good, though there are a few places (eg pages 16-17, 96-97, 192-183) where the stitching is more exposed. Holding well, but exposed. The blue boards and front cover illustration are still quite bright but there is some rubbing around the edges and at the corners, most noticeably at the top and bottom of the spine and along both edges of the spine. Please take a look at the photos to be supplied. PS There's no date of publication in this copy. The novel was originally published in 1896. It was popular and went through several editions. Given the inscription dated 1926, it seems fair to assume this copy dates from some time in the early to mid 1920s.
