About this Item
First UK edition, first impression, published simultaneously with the US edition, this copy in strikingly attractive condition. Cora Hardy Jarrett (1877-1969) began writing in her 50s, first publishing under the pseudonym of Faraday Keene before writing a series of supernatural mysteries under her own name, which Bleiler includes in his Checklist of Supernatural and Fantasy Literature. Jarrett studied widely, including at the Sorbonne and Oxford, and taught Greek and English for much of her career. Her works "are truly Southern Gothic wherever they may be set" and are "deep probings into abnormal psychology which move across the boundary into supernatural" (Reilly, p. 858). John M. Reilly, ed., Twentieth Century Crime & Mystery Writers, 1980. Octavo. Original green cloth, titles to spine in black. With dust jacket. Spine slightly cocked and toned, light rubbing to board edges, top edge faintly dust toned, spots of foxing to fore edge and outer leaves, light offsetting to endpapers, contents clean and bright; a very good copy in the attractive jacket, spine folds and edges faded, small mark to rear panel, unclipped.
