"Richard Austin Freeman (11 April 1862 28 September 1943) was a British writer of detective stories, mostly featuring the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He claimed to have invented the inverted detective story (a crime fiction in which the commission of the crime is described at the beginning, usually including the identity of the perpetrator, with the story then describing the detective's attempt to solve the mystery). Freeman used some of his early experiences as a colonial surgeon in his novels. Many of the Dr. Thorndyke stories involve genuine, but often quite arcane, points of scientific knowledge, from areas such as tropical medicine, metallurgy and toxicology." (from Wikipedia).

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. In original red boards with gilt titling, call this hardcover bound volume of the Edwardian monthly magazine, "good." (Color frontispiece protected by a tissue guard, and that tissue guard alone shows some foxing.) From 1905 through his death in 1943 (and beyond -- posthumous…story collections popped up well into the 1970s) former colonial surgeon R(ichard) Austin Freeman was celebrated as one of Britain's leading purveyors of detective fiction, the bulk of his tales featuring medico-forensic sleuth Dr. Thorndyke and his man, Polson. However, in collaboration with his friend John James Pitcairn (medical officer of Holloway Prison), Freeman actually wrote an earlier series of six tales featuring a character whose talents, powers of observation, and mastery of disguise easily matched those of Sherlock Holmes, but who turned those skills to the service of . . . crime. The original six adventures of gentleman burglar, con man and stock manipulator Romney Pringle were published in Cassell's Magazine from June through November, 1902, under the pseudonym "Clifford Ashdown." The tales were then gathered into a small hardcover book published by Ward Lock, dated 1902, and titled (straightforwardly enough) "The Adventures of Romney Pringle." Which pretty much disappeared. Six copies of that hardcover first edition are believed to remain in existence -- several of which have now emerged from the woodwork here on ABE. But authorities as notable as Ellery Queen have declared "The Adventures of Romney Pringle" the "rarest book in detective fiction" (though there are other nominees for that honor, of course.) R.B. Russell estimated the value of a nice copy of that stand-alone hardcover at about $2,200 in 2010 . . . though those stalking a copy today might be well advised to have $4,000 at the ready. But is that coveted small book REALLY the first hardcover edition? For not only do all six of the tales appear in this bound volume of Cassell's Magazine dated "1902.2" -- June through November of that year -- but they're accompanied here by the fine original illustrations by Fred Pegram, at the original "large octavo" magazine size -- some of them striking full-page plates with image areas of 5X8 inches! This bound volume also features a series of non-fiction essays by R. Austin Freeman on Britain's lighthouses, as well as profiles of Mark Twain and Thomas A. Edison (by other hands), this 668-pg. bound volume is rarely encountered. Here reduced from $725. Illustrated by Fred Pegram (illustratore).

Aggiungi al carrellohardcover. Condizione: Fair. Cassell's Magazine, Illustrated: June to November, 1902, Clifford Ashdown (R. Austin Freeman & John James Pitcairn), et al. â" First Appearance Publication: London, Cassell and Company, Limited, 1902 Formatting: Large 8vo, pp. iv, 668. Condition Report Fair. The volume's most prominent defect is a vi…ntage repair to the spine, which has been entirely rebacked and overlaid with a red cloth tape that overlaps slightly onto the boards. The original red publisherâs boards exhibit moderate rubbing and shelf-wear, with some bumping to the corners and slight darkening to the extremities. Internally, the text block remains remarkably sound and tight. The pages are generally clean, displaying only age-appropriate edge-tanning and occasional minor handling marks. Despite the external repair, the structural integrity of the binding holds firmly, safely preserving the scarce and highly desirable contents within. Catalogue Note This bound periodical volume is of exceptional significance to collectors of early detective and crime fiction, as it contains the true first appearance of The Adventures of Romney Pringle. Co-authored by R. Austin Freeman and John James Pitcairn under the joint pseudonym Clifford Ashdown, these six stories were serialised here between June and November 1902, complete with the original and striking illustrations by Fred Pegram. The subsequent standalone book edition, published later in 1902 by Ward, Lock & Co., is legendary within the genre and is widely regarded by bibliographers and authorities as one of the rarest volumes in the entire canon of detective fiction. Consequently, this original serialised state represents a scarce, viable alternative for completists, capturing Freemanâs debut in published fiction and his pioneering foray into the inverted rogue narrative. Notably, the volume also contains a series of non-fiction essays by Freeman regarding British lighthouses. Predating R. Austin Freeman's legendary scientific detective Dr. John Thorndyke, The Adventures of Romney Pringle inverts the traditional Edwardian crime narrative by placing the reader alongside a charming, amoral rogue. Romney Pringle is a suave gentleman swindler who operates under the guise of a legitimate literary agent, employing brilliant disguises, elaborate confidence tricks, and a strict non-violent code to relieve other, often far worse, criminals of their ill-gotten gains. A masterful blend of ingenious scheming and sharp social observation, these early stories present a captivating anti-hero whose exploits continue to fascinate enthusiasts of golden-age mystery and classic rogue literature. Fred Pegram, et al. (illustratore).
