192919263New York: Mason Publishing Co. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1932 c.1929. Reprint. Hardcover. spine turned light wear to base of spine and bottom corners; jacket slighty faded at spine with tiny tears at several corners one-inch closed tear and associated creasing at top of front panel. An early reprint of the prolific Ms. Mitchell's first novel first published in the U.S. by Dial Press in 1929 in which a famous arctic explorer is found dead in a bathtub at an English country house -- and is discovered to have been a woman! Much I suppose like a purchaser of this book by "G.M. Mitchell" as she is called in the front jacket panel might have been surprised to have learned the author's gender only upon turning to the title page. As Michele Slung wrote of Mitchell she's "a special taste" whose work "has been little published in the United States since the beginning of her career yet to mystery readers in England who have followed the classic school she is practically an institution." Considered in her heyday to be in the same league as Agatha Christie or Dorothy L. Sayers she wrote a total of 66 books featuring psychoanalyst-writer-sleuth Mrs. Beatrice Adela Lestrange Bradley introduced in this book -- one or more every year until her death in 1983. As Slung also notes: "To put it mildly eccentric goings-on are Mitchell's hallmark" with much attention devoted to "witchcraft the supernatural and folklore esoterica." It might also be observed that very few if any long-running detective series have featured a central character whose creator has taken such pains to make an unappealing indeed almost repulsive figure: the very first mention of Mrs. Bradley in this her introductory exploit has another character describing her as a "little old shrivelled clever sarcastic sort of dame who would have been smelt out as a witch in a less tolerant age." And the author herself is scarcely more charitable writing of her "nasty dry claw-like hands and her arms yellow and curiously repellant" employing adjectives like "reptilian" and describing her more than once as resembling a "playful alligator." Miss Marple she isn't! . Mason Publishing Co. hardcover books

199050334Saint Paul: Rulon-Miller Books 1990. Edition ltd. to 100 copies this no. 32 8vo pp. 61 3; photographic facsimile tipped in original green cloth slipcase paper label on spine. Printed by hand in red and black on handmade Umbria Bianco paper by Emily Mason Strayer of the Kutenai Press South Willington CT; designed and produced under the direction of Gerald Lange of the Bieler Press at the University of Southern California Los Angeles; matrices for unique characters were provided by Monotype International Surrey England; additional characters were supplied by MacKenzie-Harris Corp. San Francisco. Kemble 1807-1857 the son of Charles Kemble the actor was the foremost English philologist of his day and a friend correspondent and protege of Jacob Grimm. The text is taken from the recently discovered eight page manuscript dated 1830 compiled three years before the appearance of his influential edition of Beowulf--the first in English and the first to show competent knowledge of Old English. No trace of the Dictionary itself is known. But coming at in important juncture of English etymological research and Anglo-Saxon scholarship this Specimen of select English words traced back through centuries of Middle and Old English literature is fitting tribute to Kemble's erudition and interest in the history of the English language. <br/><br/> Rulon-Miller Books hardcover books
