Penguin Main Series 988. 1st Edition, published 1954.
Theatre companies are notorious hotbeds of intrigue, and few are more intriguing than the company currently in residence at Oxford University. Center-stage is the beautiful, malicious Yseut, a mediocre actress with a stellar talent for destroying men. Rounding out the cast are more than a few of her past and present conquests, and the women who love them. And watching from the wings is Professor Gervase Fen-scholar, wit, and fop extraordinaire-who would rather solve crimes than expound on English literature. When Yseut is murdered, Fen finally gets his wish.
Condition grading: Good. Coloured pencil drawing on rear cover. Some grubbiness to right side of front cover. Minor wear to spine ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
