DECLINE AND FALL - EVELYN WAUGH GEBUNDEN

Evelyn Waugh's hilarious debut novel  now in a beautiful hardback edition with a new
Introduction by Barbara CookeSent down from Oxford in outrageous circumstances  Paul
Pennyfeather is oddly unsurprised to find himself qualifying for the position of schoolmaster
at Llanabba Castle. His colleagues are an assortment of misfits  rascals and fools  including
Prendy (plagued by doubts) and Captain Grimes  who is always in the soup (or just plain drunk).
Then Sports Day arrives  and with it the delectable Margot Beste-Chetwynde  floating on a
scented breeze. As the farce unfolds and the young run riot  no one is safe  least of all
Paul.'His first  most perfect novel ... ruthlessly comic' John Mortimer  Guardian
