About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 45 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Robert Bevan and John Lavery. Jeremy Garnet is dragged to Dorset by Ukridge, a friend of monumental confidence and no capital, to help run a chicken farm on credit — no fences, no money, no idea — while Garnet courts a professor's daughter next door.

Forty-five plates of Edwardian portraiture and wartime air stations by Munch and Orpen supply the period's faces and machines for a comedy of rural speculation.
