Adrian Healey is magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life; unprepared too for the afternoon in Salzburg when he will witness the savage murder of a Hungarian violinist; unprepared to learn about the Mendax device; unprepared for more murders and wholly unprepared for the truth.

Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Outline: -The spirits of Oscar Wilde and Evelyn Waugh glower benignly over this very funny first novel by Stephen Fry. The novel has an ingenious plot filled with surprises and glittering with hilarious often indecent inventions: a pugnacious faculty meeting that collapses into an exchange of obscenities the fabrication of a `lost` pornographic novel by Charles Dickens and an exercise in intellectual gamesmanship that engages some of the finest minds and blackest hearts in England. Stephen Fry`s sympathetic portrayal of his defiantly unconventional hero makes for an outrageously entertaining debut. -> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Arrow Books Ltd The date of this copy is 2004 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.

This book is a real kick, and full of surprises. Very British, with (purportedly) inside looks at what we would call private schools and Cambridge, which the author attended. One note: it has some crude language and some homosexual characters, so if you don't like that sort of thing, stay away.
