  • A Summer in The Twenties – Peter Dickinson – First US Edition

    A Summer in The Twenties – Peter Dickinson – First US Edition

    First US edition published by Pantheon, New York in 1981. Octavo, 254 pages, hint of edge age but really a very nice copy in a delightful dust jacket designed by Fred Marcellino.

    Set in the 1920’s (hopefully obviously) Toma well to do athletic type sees his life change and he ends up as a stand in train driver during the General Strike in England. Torn between loves and class divides his path gets rather twisted. A novel of suspense and adventure it is.

    The author had an editorial role at The Punch for seventeen years before taking up his own pen – he never looks back and won several important awards.

    Train drivers in the thick of it during the 1920’s

  • Clochemerle Les Bains – Gabriel Chevallier – First UK Edition 1964

    Clochemerle Les Bains – Gabriel Chevallier – First UK Edition 1964

    A super copy of this fun book translated by Xan Fielding and published by Secker & Warburg, Lonon in 1964. Thick octavo, 448 pages, lively dust jacket designed by A Games.

    Not sure what age you have to be to remember the riotous naughty comedy series about the characters and goings on in this idyllic French village. Well written but with a wit beyond and a good dousing of hanky-panky, maybe not entirely in fitting with now norms (oh dreary me). Regardless, anyone with warm blood is likely to enjoy until the end and pine a little for French wine and real cheese.

    Clochemerle where lives were lived to the full and nobody got injured – well permanently injured

  • The King by Night – Edgar Wallace – 1926

    The King by Night – Edgar Wallace – 1926

    A very early edition of this Edgar Wallace classic published by Birt in 1926. Octavo, 333 pages, very clean internally, complete dust jacket albeit creased.

    A series of murders keeps the pace up in this lengthy Wallace read. May hold the record of 67 chapters – all is eventually revealed. Classic line “Open the door, you devil! It is the King of Bonginda – obey!” Contains evil genius and a creature of brute terror … suppose there are still a few of those around now!

    Edgar Wallace with the pen and the mystery flowing fast and furious.

  • The Devil Man – Edgar Wallace – 1931

    The Devil Man – Edgar Wallace – 1931

    A fine copy of this Edgar Wallace classic. Published by Doubleday, Doran etc for The Crime Club in 1931. Octavo, 312 pages, stylised decoration to red end paper – unusual dust jacket, top edge stained red as required. A fine copy in a super dust jacket.

    The promotion for this book claims the best Edgar Wallace to date – it might be. The story centres around Charles Peace a burglar who resorted to murder … not regarded as a pleasant character. Starts in the 1870’s and is, seemingly, based on a real-life character ….

    Edgar Wallace Classic in best condition possible
