Turvey: A Military Picaresque - Birney, Earle
Turvey: A Military Picaresque - Birney, Earle
Clean, tight, unmarked; price clipped; some light rubbing to inside edges and back of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; Private Turvey reports once again - with his story still passing muster as the funniest thing that ever happened in or to the Canadian Army at war. Turvey, the innocent naif with the perpetual grin, first won the hearts of readers in 1949. As much a novel of disillusionment as of humour, Turvey has earned high status in our literature, and this unblushing edition (with none of the earlier editions' concessions to Canadian prudishness, which existed as late as 1949) is the single definitive version, sure to please all Turvey's old friends and to gain him a whole batch of new ones.
