On holiday in Keldstone visiting his nephew, Jim, blanket
manufacturer Athelstan Digby agrees to look after the old bookshop
on the ground floor of his lodgings while his hosts are away. On
the first day of his tenure, a vicar, a chauffeur and an
out-of-town stranger enquire after The Life and Death of Mr. Badman
by John Bunyan. When a copy mysteriously arrives at the shop in a
bundle of books brought in by a young scamp, and is subsequently
stolen, Digby moves to investigate the significance of the book
along with his nephew, and the two are soon embroiled in a case in
which the stakes have risen from antiquarian book-pinching to
ruthless murder. First published in a limited run in 1934, this
exceedingly rare and fast-paced bibliomystery set against the
landscapes of Yorkshire is long overdue its return to print.
This early work by William Fryer Harvey was originally published in
1910 and we are now republishing it as part of our Cryptofiction
Classics series. 'Last of the Race' is a short story about an
illusive species of bird.
This scarce antiquarian book is a selection from Kessinger
Publishing's Legacy Reprint Series. Due to its age, it may contain
imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed
pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we
have made it available as part of our commitment to protecting,
preserving, and promoting the world's literature. Kessinger
Publishing is the place to find hundreds of thousands of rare and
hard-to-find books with something of interest for everyone!
