Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "From the perspective of half a century later, Sarah Jane Fearing, the unwilling heiress of Fearing's Bank, tells the slender tale of how her beloved Uncle Frank, eager to pay off his many debts at the same time he accommodated the family frantic for a male heir, entered a bargain in 1893 to marry Mary Coverdale, impeccably pedigreed, coldly attractive, and professionally focused on reigning as chatelaine over Blakemere. The bargain turns into a disaster for everyone concerned when Frank and Mary's firstborn son turns out to be retarded; Frank and his family clash over whether Frank has fulfilled his promise to provide them with a male heir; and a ceremonious family conference erupts in what Sarah is convinced is a murder--followed by the disappearance of Frank (to Australia, so they say) and Mary (back to her older, and now wiser, family), and by the suspicious enrichment of potential witnesses. Robert Barnard, writing in his Bastable guise (Too Many Notes, Mr. Mozart, 1996, etc.) adroitly uses his story to point a familiar moral about the poisoned alliance between self-regarding old British families and the money they demand to support themselves, though the moral turns out to have an extra point at the end.: -- Kirkus Review.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Combining mystery with alternative history, Bastable, who is really veteran mystery author Robert Barnard, offers us a Wolfgang Mozart who has lived to old age. Still unrecognized, still in debt, a widower after a long and happy marriage, the former child prodigy and performer for kings finds himself giving music lessons to Princess Victoria, heir apparent to the throne of England. But having more on her mind than music, the princess asks her piano teacher to uncover the truth about the ambiguous relationship between her mother and Sir John Conroy. The mature Mozart-a bit cagey, puckish, and fond of his young student-acts as a liaison between the princess's mother and the disarmingly informal newly crowned King William IV, who lives with Queen Adelaide surrounded by his brood of illegitimate children. The King, Victoria's uncle, invites her, the heir apparent, to the Windsor court. Shortly after her arrival, a court visitor is fatally poisoned after sipping from a cup intended for Victoria, and the king calls upon Mozart to make the kind of discreet inquiries at which he has proven so competent. Bastable imagines his characters and their setting so fully and seamlessly and offers such appealing possibilities that readers will wish this slight piece offered Mozart and Victoria more range." -- Publishers Weekly.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Fine dj. First Edition. [good sound copy with no significant wear, moderate age-toning to edges of text block, former owner's initials plus date & place of purchase written in ink along edge of rear pastedown (concealed beneath rear jacket flap); the jacket is nearly flawless, with only some tiny bits of surface wear that you'll need a magnifying glass to see]. Comic novel set in 1830, the conceit being that an elderly Wolfgang Gottlieb ("he prefers the German form of his name") Mozart has remained in England after visiting as a child prodigy in 1764, "cursing the luck that made him a despised hack in a foreign country, instead of being cherished and honoured in his native Austria." Now in his 70s, but "still remarkably spry for his age," he appears to finally be catching a piece of luck: he's engaged as young Princess (future Queen) Victoria's piano teacher. Alas, "things go from bad to dangerous when she becomes Heir Apparent to the throne, and seems destined to be the victim of a tug-of-war between the new King, William IV, and her unwise mother, the Duchess of Kent.". Illustrated by (dj illus) David Frankland (illustrator).…
