About this Item

8vo 315pp. from front flap: "A major literary discovery has revealed that Louisa May Alcott wrote under a pseudonym. The exact nature of her clandestine literary experience, the discovery of her pseudonym, A.M. Barnard, and the identification of her Gothic effusions were all revealed in Behind a Mask. Secret shockers of the 1860,'s those four stories are now hailed as suspenseful page-turners of the 1970's. They were dashed off by a young woman in her thirties whose equipment included a riotous imagination, a dramatic instinct, and an indefatigable right hand, whose motivations were money and psychological catharsis. Now the remaining sensational thrillers have been collected in Plots and Counterplots. Mind control, violence, madness, incest, and the whole psychology of manipulation are presented here to give us still another, wilder side to the author of Little Women." #03926. Book VG+: Clean, square, tight, unmarked. DJ VG-: mild edge wear, some wrinkling/creasing. NOT clipped.
