The book that launched one of the best-loved comic families in English fiction. Berry Pleydell and his quick-witted cousins motor about the English countryside tumbling into scrapes that always melt into banter and flirtation. Dornford Yates - in life the barrister Cecil Mercer, junior counsel at the Oscar Wilde trial and a cousin of Saki - spun the Berry books into a twenty-year institution between the wars. This edition presents the complete and unabridged first volume, newly typeset and illustrated with 40 full-page color plates.
