DESCRIPTION
The first edition of this very scarce work.
Illustrated with a frontispiece.
Presented as a collection of linked stories, this work is narrated by a journalist living in 1960s London, who is investigating the life of Prime Minister Bolsover. It is revealed that Bolsover was involved in the fight for suffrage, and prevented the First World War.
The work climaxes in the revelation that Bolsover is a woman in disguise, pretending to be male because her sex prevented her from openly pursuing a life in Politics.
