Publication: Hutchinson, 1971, London

First edition. Former owner's neat bookplate on front fly-leaf else fine in price-clipped dust jacket. For twenty years Maud has hated her son-in-law, Stanley Feckless ... he is unambitious, has a criminal record and spends his days on his hobby -- working crossword puzzles. For that same time period, Stanley has hated his mother-in-law, but she has money --- lots of money!! It wasn't until the two were living under the same roof that each realized the true extent of their mutual hatred.
