London: William Heinemann, 1928. First edition. Very Good +. Original publisher's cloth binding embossed in gilt and black to spine and front board. A tight, square copy at Very Good+ to Near Fine, with some toning to the spine, trivial rubbing along the front hinge, and a small bump to the lower bottom corner. Light scattered foxing, largely confined to preliminaries and the half title. Inscribed by the author on the front endpaper: "For Ethel from one of her authors. W. Somerset Maugham." The recipient is likely Ethel Irving, an actress of stage and early screen who performed in Maugham's Lady Frederick and was a supporter of his work (Maugham Encyclopedia). A pleasing copy with an interesting association. For Ashenden, Maugham mined his life as an author and his experiences working in the British Secret Intelligence Service. In a series of interconnected short stories, Maugham traces the adventures of its title character, Ashenden, as he operates for SIS during World War I in Switzerland and other countries across Europe and Asia under the cover of being an author. Credited with inspiring Ian Fleming's James Bond series and countless other spy-thrillers, Ashenden navigates a complex world of international subterfuge as a cool, disinterested yet effective spy. This delicate work, as his commanding officer reminds him, leaves Ashenden to rely on his wits and skills alone: "If you do well you'll get no thanks and if you get into trouble you'll get no help." Very Good +.
