Here is the devious Pillingshot scoring a remarkable victory over Mellish, the Latin Master, reducing him to a baffled villain in a melodrama; and the genial unscrupulous Frederick Wackerbath Bradshaw, later in life to become so conspicuous a figure in a sensational company fraud case; the extraordinary manoeuvres of Charteris in his dealings with the knavish Bargee Man; the coolheaded contrivances of MacArthur, the best centre three-quarters the school had ever known and the saviour of Merevale’s in the house games; and many more. So many of the technical and comical stratagems that won Wodehouse universe fame as the creator of Jeeves and Wooster are evident in these immensely human tales. He enchants us with his magical gifts and his stories will live forever.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40056593940567,"sku":"8429643","price":18.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/orig_248084_jpg.jpg?v=1670843858"},{"product_id":"alias-the-saint-by-leslie-charteris-hodder-stoughton-1949","title":"Alias the Saint by Leslie Charteris - Hodder \u0026 Stoughton, 1949","description":"\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Alias The Saint\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Leslie Charteris\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 1949\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003eCondition: This book is in good condition for its age other than some minor signs of wear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReader's note\u003c\/h2\u003eAlias The Saint: Simon Templar had an irresistible smile, a lazy manner a remarkable gift for discovering things - and a dubious past.
