‎CAKES AND ALE‎

‎1930. Or The Skeleton in the Cupboard. London: William Heinemann 1930. Original blue cloth with dust jacket. First Edition of perhaps his Maugham's best novel a witty and delicious comedy of literary England in the early decades of the 20th century told in the first person by a novelist Ashenden. The pushing and self-advertising novelist Alroy Kear wants to get at the details of the early life of Edward Driffield an eminent novelist whose biography Kear has been commissioned to write. Ashenden had known Driffield and his first wife Rosie a barmaid; Rosie the skeleton in the cupboard of Driffield's life is Kear's stumbling block -- he is not honest enough to be given the facts that Ashenden gives the reader. Rosie is a wonderful character -- affectionate amoral and generous. The narrator is obviously Maugham but he denied what so many readers were quick to conclude: that Alroy Kear was founded on Hugh Walpole and Edward Driffield on Thomas Hardy. CGEL This copy does have the "t" in "won't" on line 14 of p. 147 which is often regarded as the "later state"; however as Toole Stott points out this is merely a matter of type slippage during the print run and the "t" could have dropped off during the run or it could have been inserted during the run -- in either event both "states" were then issued simultaneously to the public. This volume is in fine condition bright and without wear -- withOUT the foxing common to this wove paper; the dust jacket is close to fine as well -- essentially no wear at all but on its spine there is very faint soil and the red woman is a little faded.

‎Cakes and Ale or The Skeleton in the Cupboard‎

‎London: Heinemann 1930. First edition variant state of p. 147 with the 't' not mssing no precedence established -- "both states issued simultaneously" according to Stott. 4 270 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Original publisher's blue cloth. Very good in somewhat worn and soiled dust jacket with small chip from head a few small tears. First edition variant state of p. 147 with the 't' not mssing no precedence established -- "both states issued simultaneously" according to Stott. 4 270 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.
