The Best Of The Topper Annual Hardcover Pedigree

Product Information

The Passionate Witch (1941, published posthumously and completed by Norman H. Matson). Produced in 1942 as the film I Married a Witch, this novel was one of the inspirations, along with Bell, Book and Candle, for the long-running TV series Bewitched. A sequel to the novel, Bats in the Belfry (1942), is entirely by Matson, though sometimes attributed to Smith.

Two things gave me great pleasure. Firstly, Wodehouse tends to people his stories with a small cast suitable to stage farce. After I finish one of his books I increasingly find myself feeling what a small, melancholy, limited and unfruitful world he portrays. Smith, by contrast, in this novel has a film set in mind with his core (or corps?) of stars and a large supporting cast; he creates a world that is more recognizably real because it’s fuller and less confined. I prefer this. If I had to give this book a tag line, it might be something along the lines of "He learned how to live from the dead."

A year later, Topper buys their rebuilt car on a whim and learns to drive. Yearning for something but not quite sure what. He just knows something isn't right. He ends up meeting the ghosts of the Kerby's and hilarity and typical ghost-misunderstandings ensue. Originally called The Topper Book with no year at the end, the book was printed in landscape format instead of traditional vertically shaped portrait formats like The Beano Annual and The Dandy Annual. It changed to vertical in 1960. Although The Topper merged with The Beezer in 1990, the annual continued for a few years afterwards. The 1994 annual, published in 1993, was the last one.

Then why do you come barging in here, putting ideas in my husband's mind? You could have seen at a glance it isn't any too strong.

Topper, it is to be learned with some relief, was virginal more through circumstance than choice. This does not imply that his was a low and lecherous nature. Nor does it necessarily follow that he was epicurean in such matters. But he did like things nice that way. Most men do, when and if possible. Thorne Smith is a master of urbane wit and sophisticated repartee. Topper, his best-known work, is the hilarious, ribald comedy on which the hit television show and movie (starring Cary Grant) were based. These two factars" mindset & habits", come together in an unstoppable combination and form the topper ecosystem.
