Three Men and a Maid

  • Hardcover
  • New York: George H. Doran Company, 1922
By Wodehouse, P.G.
New York: George H. Doran Company. Good. 1922. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket, but enfolded by a new professionally-produced FACSIMILE dust jacket) [moderately shelfworn, age-toning and light soiling to edges of text block, front hinge a little weak, rear endpaper roughly removed; stamped "Goldwyn Production Corporation / Goldwyn Pictures / Library" on front endpaper and both pastedowns]. Romantic hijinks aboard a White Star ocean liner, as three suitors vie for the affections of the titular maid during a transAtlantic crossing. The Ameican edition was actually the true first, published in April 1922, with the British edition (under the title "The Girl on the Boat") following in June. Although the Goldwyn Pictures stamping sources this copy to their library in the early 1920s, no film adaptation of this book (or any other by Wodehouse) was ever produced by Goldwyn; a 1962 film adaptation, starring Norman Wisdom and Millicent Martin, used the British title. Please NOTE that although this book comes with a new FACSIMILE dust jacket (see second scanned image), this has not been factored into our pricing; it's a freebie. .
