"A wickedly gay and irrepressible book about a bishop, young love and a nudist colony": Thorne Smith's The Bishop's Jaegers
First Sun Dial Press edition of Smith's wildly hilarious comic romp, preceded by the first edition published by Doubleday, Doran & Company in the same year. Octavo, original cloth. Illustrations by Roese. Near fine in a very good price-clipped dust jacket.
Adrift and listless, a wealthy coffee heir in search for life's meaning finds himself, at his secretary's insistence, at the center of a bizarre coterie of characters who invade a nudist colony. Here is Thorne Smith at his best, in a madly hilarious tale, at once mad, tender, and gleeful.
