Three brilliant novels of mystery and adventure in one special
edition
John Meade Falkner was not a full time professional writer. In
fact, during the First World War he became chairman of Armstrong
Whitworth, the huge British arms manufacturer responsible for the
construction of airplanes, cars, ships and more. Although he wrote
some non-fiction (mostly travel guides), Falkner is primarily
remembered for his classic of adventure fiction, the often
dramatised 'Moonfleet'. Set in mid-eighteenth century England, the
novel is a grippingly told smuggling tale that is now regarded as a
classic. 'Moonfleet' is joined in this unique Leonaur edition by
Falkner's two other novels. Aficionados of the ghostly tale will
find much to reward them in the pages of the 'Lost Stradivarius'.
Lauded as the novel that could potentially have been written by the
master of the literary supernatural short story, M.R. James, the
plot centres around the violin of the title which is said to
conjure the spirit of its former owner. 'The Nebuly Coat' is
another gripping mystery set in Dorset, in which young architect
Edward Westray, the principal character, must unravel the secrets
of the suspicious Blandamers, whose coat of arms features the
'nebuly'-a distinctive heraldic band device. This three-in-one
Leonaur edition provides an excellent opportunity for both
enthusiasts and newcomers to Falkner's work to read or reread his
highly regarded novels in a single satisfying and substantial
volume.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
