Publisher's orange cloth titled in black to spine, with black illustration to spine and upper board, top-edge dark orange. Pictorial dust jacket priced at $2.00. Toning to endpapers and edges, dustiness to top edge, neat ownership inscription to flyleaf. Cloth a little worn, spine ends pushed. Wrapper slightly soiled, rubbed to folds with some quite substantial chipping to edges. Very good. Set in Hollywood in the 1930s, Laughing Gas is a typically Wodehousian look at the film industry. The particular target is child film stars, with whom, by a bizarre mix-up triggered by inhaling nitrus oxide while in the dentist's chair, the protagonist is body-switched. Joey Cooley, Wodehouse's child-star, is forced to subsist on a diet of dried prunes, is effectively held under house arrest, and is kidnapped.
