Limited edition reissue of this notorious roman à clef, privately printed and circulated by Berners in 1935 under the pseudonym Adela Quebec. Publisher's quarter green cloth with gilt titles to the spine and patterned paper covered boards, in dustwrapper. Frontispiece caricature of (and previously owned by) the author, after a painting by Emilio Coia, one further illustration of the front cover of the original edition. Top edge green. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, bright and fresh. The contents, with the pencilled name and date of James Booth (former Professor of English at the University of Hull and the biographer, editor and former colleague of Philip Larkin) on the front free endpaper, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. This reissue, with an introduction and postscript by John Byrne was printed in an edition of 750 copies, 250 of which copies were reserved for the American market. The present example is the UK issue. 'The Girls of Radcliff Hall' is a spoof of Radclyffe Hall's banned lesbian novel 'The Well of Loneliness' written in the style of an Angela Brazil girl's school story. Berners depicts himself as the headmistress Miss Carfax and (drawing on incidents at Faringdon) mocks the jealousies and intrigues of his homosexual circle as thinly disguised members of the Radcliff Hall girls' school. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Prima edizione Copia autografata
Scarce first edition, sole impression, presentation copy, inscribed by Berners on the half-title, "Noël Coward, with love from The Author, April 1935". After reading the book, in which Berners's homosexual circle is satirized, Coward wrote to Berners in exhilaration: "I absolutely adored Les Girls. Oh dear! What a beastly little book". The notorious roman à clef is a burlesque of Radclyffe Hall's banned lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness, in the style of an Angela Brazil girls' school story. Berners depicts himself as the headmistress, Miss Carfax, and mocks the jealousies and intrigues of his Faringdon circle, who are represented as members of the girls' public school, Radcliff Hall. His targets include Cecil Beaton (Cecily Seymour), David Herbert (Daisy), Robert Heber Percy (Millie), Tchelitchew (Madame Yoshiwara), and Oliver Messel (Olive). The novel depicts Coward's lover, Jack Wilson (Helena de Troy), having an affair with Beaton's partner, Peter Watson (Lizzie Johnson), a suggestion which aggravated Beaton's personal spikiness towards Coward. The indiscretions alluded to created uproar, and most copies were destroyed at the request and personal effort of several of those portrayed. Surviving examples are naturally rare: when the work was reissued in 2000 by the Cygnet Press, its editor John Byrne wrote that he had seen only four copies. Octavo. Original brown wrappers, front wrapper lettered in black. Later pencil annotations to terminal blank. Light damp stains to spine and lower edges of wrappers, tiny marks to front wrapper, a couple of pages lightly folded, a very good copy.
