Three cheers for me, the journals of Bartholomew… af Donald Jack

The tradition of the "Holy Fool", stems in part from "Candide" and sort of limps through this exercise, using the Great War as a framework for its service comedy tropes. Not interesting. into the bargain, the title for this book edition is wrong, and reads Bartholomew BRANDY not "Bartholomew Bandy, which is the correct title.

Soon Bandy is offered the job of creating an airforce for the second richest man in the world, the Maharajah of Jhamjarh. With a cast of cynical airmen, spies and assassins, flappers and fools, and the delightful Icelander Sigridur, as big and beautiful as her passion for the unresponsive Bandy... silly, and not very amusing.… (mere)
