1914158491N.p. London n.d.: 1914. 1914. In January 1914 the Dickens Fellowship organized a dramatic 'trial' in the King's Hall Covent Garden. John Jasper played by Frederick T. Harry stood trial for the murder of Edwin Drood. G. K. Chesterton best known for the Father Brown mystery stories was the judge and George Bernard Shaw was the foreman of the jury which was made up of other authors. J. Cuming Walters author of THE COMPLETE EDWIN DROOD led the prosecution while Cecil Chesterton acted for the defense. Proceedings were very lighthearted; Shaw in particular made wisecracks at the expense of others present. For instance Shaw claimed that if the prosecution thought that producing evidence would influence the jury then "he little knows his functions".<br/>The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter Shaw stating that it was a compromise on the grounds that there was not enough evidence to convict Jasper but that they did not want to run the risk of being murdered in their beds. Both sides protested and demanded that the jury be discharged. Shaw claimed that the jury would be only too pleased to be discharged. Chesterton ruled that the mystery of Edwin Drood was insoluble and fined everyone except himself for contempt of court." - Wikipedia. Image a bit of tarnished several light creases very good overall.

Collins brother of Wilkie Collins. “When Dickens died on June 9 1870 he had completed only enough of his manuscript to make up six installments leaving unfinished a work which had commanded the widest attention for its opening numbers and which promised to be one of his most effective and popular books. Although only three parts had been issued prior to his death publication of the work continued and on completion with Part 6 of all available material the vast army of readers was left high and dry as to ‘The Mystery’†Hatton and Cleaver 373.

1873144021873. Brattleboro Vermont: published by Thomas. P. James 1873. Original brown cloth. First Edition of one of the earliest -- and certainly most curious -- sequels/solutions to Charles Dickens's THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD published in Vermont only three years after the mystery was left unfinished when Dickens died in June 1870. It occupies a considerable 488 pages. According to the "Medium's Preface" written by James a Vermont clairvoyant the spirit of Charles Dickens wrote this book completing the tale by communicating with James while the latter slept. Thus James himself has no recollection of having written it.; there is also an "Author's Preface" written by Dickens from beyond the grave. This is a tight near-fine copy with only quite minor wear at the extremities. Carr UTexas B291. <br/><br/> hardcover books
