DESCRIPTION

Signed by the author to the recto of front endpaper, 'For Beverley, Sovenir de Voyage from Evelyn'.  Beverley Nichols was the author of 'Crazy Pavements', which is a novel about the 'Bright Young Things'. Nichols' novel was published in 1927, and draws many parallels with Waugh's 1930 novel 'Vile Bodies'. Osbert Sitwell described Nichols as 'the original Bright Young Thing'. Both Sitwell and Nichols shared contemporaries such as Nancy Mitford and Rex Whistler. 

This is a very scarce presentation copy of this novel. 

A bright, first edition copy of this work.

'Officers and Gentlemen' is Waugh's second book in the World War II 'Sword of Honour' trilogy. The novel loosely parallels Waugh's own wartime experiences. 

A fantastic association copy of this work.
