Contains the first appearance of 'Silver Blaze' complete with Paget's inconic illustrations, as 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. No. XIII. 'The Adventure of Silver Blaze'. 'Silver Blaze' is, of course, the classic early tale containing Holmes' famous epigram of the dog in the nightime. It was subsequently collected as the first of the eleven 'Memoirs' published in book form in 1894. This issue also includes Harry How's well-illustrated article 'A Day with Dr. Conan Doyle' (pp.182-188). An added Holmesian bonus is the presence of Clarke Russell's 'A Nightmare of the Doldrums' (pp.189-198); his tales were a favourite of Dr. Watson: 'I was deep in one of Clark Russell's fine sea stories' ('The Five Orange Pips').

Contains the first appearance of Doyle's 'Round the Fire' stories II-VII. No. II is 'The Story of the Man with the Watches' (illustrated by Frank Craig); No. III is 'The Story of the Lost Special' (illustrated by Max Cowper).

Both stories feature an unnamed amateur reasoner clearly intended by Doyle to be identified by his readers as Holmes himself. These two tales and their fellows were collected and published as 'Round the Fire Stories' in 1908. UNCOMMON IN THIS CONDITION. See Green & Gibson, p.409.

Ein neuwertiges Exemplar. - Women by the Waterfront examines the role of the beach in modernist texts written by and about women. Combining original studies on nature writing with queer perspectives on the works of Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, Stevie Smith and others, this book does not only open fresh pathways in the fields of modernist studies and human geography, it also reveals that beaches are a productive space in women’s experimental literature. A close investigation of cultural artefacts including novels, short stories, story fragments, diary entries, paintings and poems shows that the beach serves as a ‘room of their own’: a privileged, in-between space which women use to challenge, suspend and transgress the limitations of a binary gender order.
