£85.00
A first edition, first printing published by Michael Joseph in 1979. A near fine book with a little spotting to the top edge, a fractional spine lean. One date inscription to the front free endpaper.

“My Uncle Oswald” by Roald Dahl is a comedic adult novel that follows the misadventures of Oswald Hendryks Cornelius, a charismatic and unscrupulous character. Published in 1979, the story revolves around Oswald’s elaborate scheme to make a fortune by exploiting the aphrodisiacal properties of a rare truffle. Dahl’s signature dark humour shines as Oswald navigates a world of seduction and deception. The novel is a departure from Dahl’s more famous children’s books, offering a satirical and risqué exploration of human desires. Dahl’s wit and clever storytelling make “My Uncle Oswald” a unique and entertaining addition to his literary repertoire.
