Signed and dedicated in 1931 by A P Herbert to J W J Knight, who worked in theatrical management in the 1920s and 1930s.
A three act light opera with libretto by A P Herbert (the music was composed by Thomas Dunhill). From the dustwrapper, "Tantivy Towers in concerned with picturesque aspects of present day English life. It ranges from Bohemia to the hunt, and its theme may be described as the ancient conflict between 'Chelsea' and the 'Country', the artist and the man of action, or as one of the songs puts it, between Orpheus and Hercules". It was a great success, running for six months, touring America and Australia, and being revived in the mid 1930s.
