Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It will come as a very pleasant surprise to Nan Shepherd's growing following that there is a body of her work which has never been published in book form, and indeed will be entirely unknown outside a very small circle. The editor of this volume, Charlotte Peacock, found many of these gems when researching for the Nan Shepherd biography Into the Mountain, published by Galileo in 2017.The pieces that Peacock found include a brilliant and moving 10,000 word short story, "Descent from the Cross"; a series of 'field writings' which were written at the same time, and in the same style as, The Living Mountain; 15 poems, never seen before; a highly entertaining piece on the poetry of Hugh MacDiarmid and, from where the title of this collection arises, a haunting description of "Wild Geese in Glen Callater" a version of which also went into The Living Mountain.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Lupin was the creation of French author Maurice Leblanc, and the nine stories in this collection were the introduction of the 'gentleman-thief' Arsene Lupin to an audience who immediately called out for more. How can we describe these stories? Simply by saying that Lupin may be a rogue, a Robin Hood, but he is certainly no villain. He is a master of disguise and without doubt the most accomplished thief ever to inhabit the pages of crime fiction. Lupin stories are sheer, unadulterated entertainment. The character has recently been reborn in a Netflix series which was inspired by these original publications. The creator of Arsene Lupin, Maurice Leblanc, was born in Rouen in 1864. At the request of a Paris magazine, Je Sais Tout, he began a series of stories featuring the character Lupin, a 'gentleman thief', which appeared in this publication, starting in 1907. The blueprint for this new magazine was England's Strand Magazine in which Conan Doyle had first introduced his character Sherlock Holmes. In 1919 Agatha Christie reportedly considered basing her first detective on Lupin. Jean Cocteau wrote about the stories in his diaries, Sartre described Lupin as "the Cyrano of the underworld." Even T. S. Eliot was an avid reader of Lupin stories. The translation by Texeira da Matos is immaculate and reads as effortlessly today as it would have done in 1907 when this collection was first published. The book comprises 9 stories: THE ARREST OF ARSENE LUPIN ARSENE LUPIN IN PRISON THE ESCAPE OF ARSENE LUPIN THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER THE QUEEN'S NECKLACE THE SEVEN OF HEARTS MADAME IMBERT'S SAFE THE BLACK PEARL SHERLOCK HOLMES ARRIVES TOO LATE The classic collection of short stories on which the hugely popular Lupin streaming TV series was based.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Meet Lady Lupin Lorimer Hastings the young, lovely, scatter brained and kind-hearted newlywed wife to Andrew, the vicar of St Marks parish in Glanville, Sussex. When it comes to matters clerical, she is rather at sea. Nevertheless, she is determined to make her husband proud of her or at least not to embarrass him too badly. When, on Christmas Eve, Andrew's unpopular, blackmailing curate gets himself murdered, things all get a bit (hilariously) overwhelming for poor out-of-her-depth Lady Lupin: 'Who was in your sitting room during that interval? Say four-thirty on Tuesday, and ten or eleven yesterday morning?' 'If you had ever lived in a vicarage you wouldn't ask questions like that; people just walk in and out all day long. When Andrew asked me to marry him, he said he was afraid I should find it very quiet here, and what he meant I can't imagine! If I wanted quiet I'd rather retire to the Tower of Babel with a saxophone.' Lupin enlists old society pals Duds and Tommy Lethbridge, as well as Andrew's nephew, a British secret service agent, to get at the truth. Lupin refuses to believe that Diana Lloyd, 38-year-old author of the children's detective stories, could've done the deed and casts her net over the other parishioners. But all the suspects seem so nice - very much more so than the victim. Who Killed the Curate was first published in 1944 and was the first of four murder mysteries penned by Joan Coggin (1898-1980). Dancing with Death (1947) was reissued most successfully by Galileo in 2022. Her works have very strong plots and are written in a stylish and humorous manner which delighted critics at the time, and will surely equally delight the growing audience for Golden Age Detective fiction.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Detective-Sergeant Martin christened him 'Whiskers', but nobody could be certain who he really was. That was not the only question that confronted Inspector Charlton of the C.I.D. How, for instance, did young Courtenay Harbord die? And why? Who was Number 106 and in what way did Mr. Ninian McCullough upset the apple-cart? The fourth Duke of Redbourn had built Etchworth Tower on the summit of High Down in 1782 and it was at the foot of it that they found Harbord one autumn morning, false bearded and with a broken neck. It looked, on the face of it, a simple case of suicide, but was it? This story of the Goose, the Killing and the Golden Eggs is not a murder mystery solved by an amateur criminologist from the depths of an armchair, but a page from the casebook of a professional detective, who does not get results by sitting still. A delicately-handled love affair adds piquancy to the complicated, but never tedious, investigation; Sergeant Bert Martin is always there with his pungent Cockney wit; and from the moment when old Tom Lee says, 'Well I'll be danged!' the tale goes steadily forward to its exciting climax. AUTHOR: Clifford Witting (1907-68) was an English writer who was educated at Eltham College, London, between 1916 and 1924. During World War II he served as a bombardier in the Royal Artillery, 1942-44, and as a Warrant Officer in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, 1944-46. His first novel Murder in Blue was published in 1937 and his series characters were Sergeant (later Inspector) Peter Bradford and Inspector Harry Charlton. Unusually, he didn't join The Detection Club until 1958 by which time he had written 12 detective novels.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At a quiet resort on the French Riviera Anthony Tolworth, companion and agent of the exiled king of Athenia, lands from the King's yacht in his search for entertainment and remuneration for the Royal household, but he meets a corpse on the beach in front of the Casino. He tries to solve the crime himself before the police can - who suspect the woman, Eve Raymond, with whom he is in love. He enlists the help of his headmistress aunt and two interfering and typical small boys. But the machinations of local politics, not to mention Althenian affairs, make the task almost impossible. The book, first published in 1949, is written with enormous humour and zest and the identity of the murderer is very well concealed. It's a real pleasure to read. AUTHOR: Max Murray (1901-1956) began life in Australia as a bush boy. His first job was that of a reporter on a Sydney paper but after a year he set out to work his way round the world. He spent eight months in the US and later worked for the News Chronicle where he was sent to Moscow, Siberia, China, Japan, The Philippines and Australia. During the Second World War he wrote scripts for, and edited Radio Newsreel for the BBC Overseas Programme. After the war, with intervals for travel, he devoted himself primarily to writing fiction.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. ANTHONY BURGESS' BRILLIANT ANALYSIS OF JOYCE'S FINNEGANS WAKE. Ulysses and Finnegans Wake are usually found in most lists of the great classics of the twentieth century. But, as Burgess points out in his introduction: "they are highly idiosyncratic books and 'difficult' books, admired more often than read, when read, rarely read through to the end, when read through to the end, not often fully, or even partially, understood. This is of course especially true of Finnegans Wake. .This present reduction of Finnegans Wake to the length of an ordinary novel-garnished with an introduction and a running commentary- is my own attempt to bring a great masterpiece to a larger audience." [the reduction is to that of about 1/3 of its original length]. It took Joyce 17 years to create this extraordinary book (and his final work), written in Paris after the publication of Ulysses. It is written not so much in English as in a language which combines, very often as puns, English with several other languages. Burgess was a huge admirer of Joyce's work and a great interpreter. His introduction to the shortened version throws a massive light on the structure and meaning of the work and perhaps, most importantly, its position in the literary canon as a great comic book. "Before we start reading we ought to put off the mask of solemnity and prepare to be entertained. This is one of the most entertaining books ever written". [Burgess] AUTHOR: James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (d. 1941) was an Irish novelist and poet. He is widely considered one of the most influential and important authors of the 20th century, particularly in his contributions to the modernist avant-garde movement. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he utilized. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). In addition to his novels, he is also know for his three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters. Anthony Burgess (d. 1993) was a novelist, poet, playwright, composer, linguist, translator and critic. He is best known for his novel A Clockwork Orange (1962). Throughout his career wrote thirty-three novels, twenty-five works of non-fiction, two volumes of autobiography, three symphonies, more than 250 other musical works, and thousands of essays, articles and reviews. Burgess was a lifelong scholar of Joyce and his book, Here Comes Everybody (1964), the first of his critical books about Joyce, was called by the Observer, "the best study of Joyce that I have ever read." SELLING POINTS: . The Anthony Burgess edition of Finnegan's Wake has been unavailable for some time, and is a classic in itself . Anthony Burgess was a known and prolific Joyce scholar Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Subject-Murder (1945) is a detective novel by Clifford Witting based on his personal experience as a bombardier in an anti-aircraft detachment. Peter Bradfield, the detective constable colleague of series character Inspector Charlton, is the narrator. We follow him from basic training in Wales to his various transfers to other posts eventually landing him in an anti-aircraft detachment between the villages of Etchworth and Sheep, and coincidentally just outside of Lulverton where he and Charlton are based as policemen. The arch villain of the story, Battery Sgt. Major Yule -- "Cruel Yule" to the bombardiers he oversees -- is sadistic, manipulative and narcissistic. Throughout the novel he proves to be one of the most odious villains in the entire genre. When we first meet him through the eyes of Johnny Fieldhouse, Yule is seated at a desk in his office taunting a mouse he has trapped under a drinking glass. This brief encounter will put Fieldhouse on Yule's list of marked men for the remainder of the book, and a gruesome murder follows before long. Clues and red herrings are abundant as in any of the best examples of the fair play detective novel. Charlton is allowed to team up with his old colleague Bradfield and together they uncover such intriguing evidence as unusual knots in the rope and dog leash used to tie up the murder victim, a book on torture practices of the Spanish inquisition that has certain passages bracketed, and the double life of a mysterious soldier named Alexander Templeton. Witting once again proves he has the stuff of a high ranking officer of detective novel plotting. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
