Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 32.39 $. .

The Speedicut Papers Book 8 (1895-1900)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 25.92 $Book 8 of The Speedicut Papers is primarily concerned with Speedicut’s involvement with the young Winston Churchill on the North-West Frontier of India, in the Sudan at the Battle of Omdurman and in the Second Boer War, during which Speedicut is captured along with Churchill. When not acting as nursemaid to Britain’s future greatest Prime Minister, Speedicut plays a central role, invariably with disastrous consequences, in the notorious Jameson Raid, Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and the assassination of the Empress of Austria. “Speedicut’s opinions on the great figures of our time give a whole new meaning to the word iconoclast...” Dr Samuel Johnson“If all the men and women Speedicut slept with were laid end to end, I wouldn’t be at all surprised.” Dorothy Parker“In defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity; in peace, goodwill – except where that shit, Speedicut, is concerned.” Winston S Churchill

Speedicut Papers 2, 1848?1857 : Love & Other Blood Sports
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 2.53 $Book 2 of The Speedicut Papers continues the first hand account of the life, loves and adventures of Jasper Speedicut: charmer, sexual libertine and reluctant hero. It is also a unique account of events in the British Empire and beyond, comprising a series of linked adventures and anecdotes which, when taken together, comprise a fascinating insight into many of the half-remembered or wholly-forgotten events of the second half of the 19th century. “It is a matter of considerable regret to me that The Speedicut Papers were not available to me when I wrote my History of the English Speaking Peoples.” Sir Winston Churchill“This book contains the only lucid explanation of the Schleswig-Holstein question ... to which I’ve completely forgotten the answer.” Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston“I was delighted to discover that, like me, Speedicut has committed every sin in the Decalogue.” Sir Richard Burton“Having read this remarkable narrative I would swim the Hellespont to meet the man who wrote it.” George, 6th Baron Byron“Speedicut’s adventures in Berlin have given me an idea for a book.” Bram Stoker
