Maugham W. Somerset
Cakes and Ale or the Skeleton in the Cupboard
London: Heinemann 1930. First edition first state with won instead of won't in line 14 of page 147. 270 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Blue cloth in dust jacket. Tape repairs to the inside head and tail of spine else near fine. First edition first state with won instead of won't in line 14 of page 147. 270 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. After Of Human Bondage Cakes and Ale is probably Maugham's finest novel and certainly one of his most popular. Of it Maugham wrote: "The book I like best is Cakes and Ale. It was an amusing book to write". Notes the author's biographer: "His output had its ups and downs. Cakes and Ale was one of the ups. He went on writing for another thirty years but never matched it in style or structure. It was a pity that the scandal surrounding the models for the main characters drew the attention of the literary community away from the book's real merit." Today of course it is those models who provide the fun: Driffield the Grand Old Man of Letters Thomas Hardy and the writer-on-the-make Alroy Kear a highly unflattering portrait of the novelist Hugh Walpole who never forgave Maugham for writing his most malicious--but also his funniest--book.

CATALINA
1948. Nicoll Gordon. A Romance. London: William Heinemann 1948. Original red cloth lettered in silver with dust jacket. First Edition of Maugham's last novel published two months before the American one. Set in Spain during the Inquisition it told of a crippled girl to whom the Blessed Virgin appears in a vision. She will be healed by one of three brothers the one who has best served God. One brother is a bishop another is a soldier and the third is a baker. It comes as no surprise that the humble panadero succeeds in healing the girl. In the slackness of the writing the descent into cliche and the contrived plot devices CATALINA betrayed Maugham's declining powers. It was a feeble book with which to end a fifty-year career as a novelist. Morgan This copy has its lettering in silver the publisher started out using silver but finding it unsatisfactory switched to imitation gold -- "both variations were delivered to the bookshops simultaneously". It is a fine bright copy; the colorful jacket with a wraparound pictorial scene by Gordon Nicoll is nearly fine as well spine a bit faded front flap price-clipped.
