Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. H. Rochester Sneath no longer exists. And if you wished to put your son's name on the waiting list for Selhurst School, near Petworth, Sussex, you might have a little difficulty. It doesn;t exist either. But, as this collection of Sneath's letters, and the replies, proves, you can fool most of the people most of the time. Particularly, it seems, if the people happen to be the head masters of thos emost English private institutions - public schools. In early 1948 Sneath began his brief and glorious career. Letters, like canes, mortarboards and jaundiced rugger balls, began to appear in headmasters' offices, whose occupants, with two notable exceptions, appeared to find nothing strange in Sneath's requests or his exhortations. Pompous, indignant, eccentric, pushing, toadying, or just plain dotty, the letters were answered with a seriousness which is barely credible. For he wrote of: - infestations of rats - the possibility of 'engineering' Royal visits - how to hire a private detective - junior masters with club feet and warty noses - ghosts, cricket, statues, new buildings, 'monster' reunions George Bernard Shaw was puzzled, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott was booked up, as was Sir Adrian Boult. Sir William Reid Dick was eager. After four or five letters the Master of Marlborough becaqme exasperated, while the head master of St Benedict's was livid. A certain master displayed a cupidity not normally associated with men of the cloth; the new Master of Rugby was grateful for some wise advice; the head master of Stowe could not have been more helpful about sex. There was talk of Sneath succeeding the hea dmaster of Eton. One head master was so drawn to Sneath that he recommended Selhurst to a prospective parent, who promptly applied for a place on behalf of her son. His name was placed on 'the waiting list for the Waiting List'. Sneath's letters comprise a gentle and unmalicious, but devastatingly accurate parody of the public school system - a collection so intelligently absurd that it defies adequate description. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Erstausgabe Signiert
Third edition. Presentation copy from the author to British prime minister John Major, inscribed on the title page "For John Major with every good wish from Humphry". John Major was presented the book while prime minister at an event, and subsequently gave it to a member of the Number 10 Downing Street staff, from whom it has been directly acquired. Berkeley (1926-1994) was Conservative MP for Lancaster from 1959 to 1966, afterwards standing for the Labour Party, leaving for the SDP, and then returning to Labour. He is noted for his early support for gay rights, introducing a bill to legalize homosexual male relations in 1966, which failed only due to the dissolution of parliament. Berkeley was sent down from Oxford for impersonating "H. Rochester Sneath", the fictional headmaster of a public school, and sending hoax letters to public figures. Rab Butler, who knew Berkeley, arranged for him a job at Conservative Central Office during this time, and advised him to keep the hoax letters and their replies safely for publication a quarter century later. The "Rochester Sneath letters" were duly published in 1974, with this the third edition, following the second in 1980. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Trivial bumping at extremities of book and jacket, near-fine.
