1936BOOKS0057003166 ad pages. Small octavo 7 3/4" x 5 1/2" bound in original publisher's black cloth with silver lettering to spine and cover in original jacket. Has the "A" on the title verso. First edition. Wright wrote as a critic and journalist until 1923 when he became ill from what was given out as overwork but was in reality a secret drug addiction according to John Loughery's biography Alias S.S. Van Dine. His doctor confined him to bed supposedly because of a heart ailment but actually because of a cocaine addiction for more than two years. In frustration and boredom he began collecting and studying thousands of volumes of crime and detection. In 1926 this paid off with the publication of his first S. S. Van Dine novel The Benson Murder Case. Wright took his pseudonym from the abbreviation of "steamship" and from Van Dine which he claimed was an old family name. Wright wrote a series of short stories for Warner Brothers film studio in the early 1930s. These stories were used as the basis for a series of 12 short films each around 20 minutes long that were released in 1930 - 1931. Of these The Skull Murder Mystery 1931 shows Wright's vigorous plot construction. It is also notable for its non-racist treatment of Chinese characters something quite unusual in its day. As far as it is known none of Van Dine's screen treatments have been published in book form and none of the manuscripts survive. Short films were popular then and Hollywood made hundreds of them during the studio era. Except for a handful of comedy silents however most of these films are forgotten and not listed in film reference books. Wright died April 11 1939 in New York City a year after the publication of an unpopular experimental novel that incorporated one of the biggest stars in radio comedy The Gracie Allen Murder Case and leaving a complete novelette-length story that was intended as a film vehicle for Sonja Henie and was published posthumously as The Winter Murder Case.

Original black-stamped tan cloth; extremities worn. Poor. Third edition "with a record of the finding of the Loretto Chapel in 1919." From at least the 12th century the Glastonbury area has been associated with the legend of King Arthur a connection promoted by medieval monks who asserted that Glastonbury was Avalon. "The ruins are now the property of and managed by the Glastonbury Abbey trust. On acquiring the site the trust appointed Frederick Bligh Bond to direct an archaeological investigation. Bond discovered the Edgar Chapel North Porch and St Dunstan's Chapel however relations with his employers turned sour when he revealed in his 1919 book The Gate of Remembrance that he had made many of his interpretations in collaboration with a psychic medium."
