  • 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

  • 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

    A fine copy of this Edgar Wallace classic. Published by AL Birt in 1923, octavo, 421 pages, super clean and a dust jacket to die for.

    The Fellowship of the Frogs was not to be messed with. James G Bliss is a wealthy industrialist – he gets a serious whack and when for a brief moment regains strength can only say “Frog, frog … left arm …frog”.

    Frogs abound but not of the amphibious kind! Croak!
