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. Centre-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 Minus. Some wear to stained spine. Price sticker to front cover. Light foxing to rear cover. Minor loss to bottom of spine. Some staining to left and right edges of front cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
