A Hind Let Loose
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1936.
A farce about a journalist who, by dint of creative scheduling, makes a living writing editorials for the two morning newspapers in a Northern English city -- one staunchly Tory and one devotedly Radical (as Radical was defined in 1910). Our hero is so deft a writer, so skilled at saying anything (or indeed nothing) at length, that he's become indispensable to the owners of both papers, neither of whom suspects that he is also at work for the hated rival. Then comes the night that the Radical paper's building catches fire, forcing it to seek space in its opposite number's office to put out the next edition...
Condition grading: Very Good. Minor wear to spine ends. Very light foxing to front cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
