193220495New York: Horace Liveright Inc. Fair. c.1932. First American Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . no dust jacket solid reading copy but no more internally clean and firmly bound but with much external wear: soiling to covers some deterioration/fraying to cloth along hinges slight exposure of boards at top and bottom corners. The first novel by this English journalist and short-story writer a rather self-consciously "madcap" satire centered around the Cadwallows who in addition to being "one of the noblest and nuttiest families in England" are also teetering on the brink of impoverishment. Potential salvation from their financial plight arrives in the person of Miss Wilhelmina Harkaway known as "Bill" a nine-foot-tall giantess who has been brought from Australia by the family's youngest son. She is readily adopted by the Cadwallow clan and with the patronage of a wealthy and even more eccentric friend a scheme is hatched to launch her on a prizefighting career and thereby reap a fortune. This isn't due to any discernible skill on her part in that regard or even to any inherent combativeness in her nature -- she's really quite a nice young lady of nineteen -- but simply because well it's that kind of book. Not surprisingly her enormous size and commensurate strength permits her to defeat all challengers and in no time at all she becomes a somewhat freakish celebrity even at one point going on an American tour. The original jacket blurb promised "amazing swoops of cuckoo fun and general insanities and at the same time grand satire and a healthy if absurd romance." The human-freak-boxing angle is of interest as the author did a little amateur boxing himself as a young man and later garnered praise for a series of short fantasy stories about a "dwarf surrealist boxer" named Engelbrecht. .
