Hardcover. Condition: gut. Erste Aufl. Rosa Wellpappeinband mit farbig geprägtem Rückentitel, farbigen Vorsätzen und illustriertem Schutzumschlag. Der Umschlag dezent randberieben, die Einbandkanten mit einzelnen kleinen Druckstellen, die Schnitte und einzelne Seitenränder ebd. partiell leicht berieben, der Kopfschnitt auch mit winzigem Fleckchen, ansonsten guter Erhaltungszustand. "Ein kleines englisches Dorf steht kopf, als sich dessen Bewohner plötzlich als Figuren in einem Roman wiederfinden. Und nur die unscheinbare Miss Buncle weiß, wer der Autor ist. In dem kleinen englischen Dorf Silverstream sucht Barbara Buncle, eine unscheinbare Dame Anfang vierzig, nach Möglichkeiten, ihr bescheidenes Einkommen aufzubessern. Schließlich hat sie eine Idee: Sie wird ein Buch schreiben, und zwar - da Phantasie nicht ihre Stärke ist - über etwas, das sie kennt. Nämlich ihr eigenes Dorf und dessen Einwohner. Und Miss Buncle trifft genau ins Schwarze. Der Roman, publiziert unter dem Pseudonym John Smith, wird ein Bestseller. Die Kritiker überschlagen sich, doch die Sache hat einen Haken: Miss Buncles Schilderungen sind so authentisch, dass sich die Bewohner von Silverstream prompt wiedererkennen, und nicht alle sind glücklich. Bald dreht sich in dem Ort alles nur um eine Frage: Wer ist John Smith? D. E. (Dorothy Emily) Stevenson wurde 1892 in Edinburgh geboren. Sie stammt aus einer berühmten Familie von Leuchtturmbesitzern, zu der auch Robert Louis Stevenson zählte - der Autor der "Schatzinsel" war ein Cousin ihres Vaters. 1916 heiratete D. E. Stevenson und bekam später mit ihrem Mann zwei Kinder. 1923 erschien ihr erster Roman. "Stich ins Wespennest" wurde 1934 veröffentlicht, und von nun an schrieb Stevenson jedes Jahr einen Roman. "Meine Bücher sind meine Leuchttürme", pflegte sie zu sagen. In Großbritannien und den USA erreichten ihre Romane Millionenauflagen. D. E. Stevenson starb 1973 in Moffat, Schottland." (Verlagstext) In deutscher Sprache. 350, (2) pages. 8° (135 x 205mm).

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very rare Rinehart First Edition (Rinehart & Company colophon on the copyright page). As you can see from the photos, the covers are exceptionally clean and pretty much free of any wear, nothing that needs to be called out. The gilt lettering on the spine is still fairly bright. The spine is slightly slanted forward, but the book is solidly bound. There are no cracks or spaces between any of the facing pages or between the covers and any of the pages. The covers are very solid. The pages are exceptionally clean. I'm scrolling through them and not finding any instances of soiling (there's a speck on the half-title and verso 'Books by' page. There's also a teeny tiny tip of the top corner crease on the 'Books by' page. I didn't find any other creasing. There are no markings in the book . No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The dust jacket presents nicely, certainly better than most from the 1940s. You can see it in the first few photos. There is a small loss off the top edge of the spine, not reaching the lettering. There's also a little rubbing at the juncture between the spine and rear cover just off the top edge. The color of the spine is also faded somewhat. On the front cover there's a tear and light crease off the bottom edge and there is a small tear off the top edge as well. Just off the top edge there are a few scuffs. The rear cover has a small tear off the bottom edge. The flaps are in excellent condition. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. I've had it in a fitted protective cover for as long as I've owned the book which goes back a good number of years. Referencing Ms. Stevenson's novels, a reviewer from the New York Times Book Review wrote 'Whatever D.E. Stevenson puts her fictional hand to, has certain ineradicable, sure qualities. Humor, lightness of touch, the ability to plot an enthralling story in fascinating surroundings and to create characters that appeal, convincingly, both to head and heart.' Ms. Stevenson's father, David Alan Stevenson, a lighthouse engineer who built twenty six lighthouses in and around Scotland, was a first cousin to Robert Louis Stevenson. D.E. Stevenson's novels were best-sellers, with more than seven million copies printed and translations in multiple languages. Her last book was published in 1969. I currently have one other Mrs. Tim book for sale. That one is titled Mrs. Tim Flies Home.
