Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. This anthology of rare stories of crime and suspense brings together 18 tales from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction for the first time in book form, including uncollected stories by Ngaio Marsh and John Dickson Carr. The Golden Age of detective fiction had begun inauspiciously with the publication of E.C. Bentley's schismatic Trent's Last Case in 1913, but it hit its stride in 1920 when both Agatha Christie and Freeman Wills Crofts - latterly crowned queen and king of the genre - had crime novels published for the first time. They ushered in two decades of exemplary mystery writing, the era of the whodunit, the impossible crime and the locked-room mystery, with stories that have thrilled and baffled generations of readers. This new volume in the Bodies from the Library series features the work of 18 prolific authors who, like Christie and Crofts, saw their popularity soar during the Golden Age. Aside from novels, they all wrote short fiction - stories, serials and plays - and although most of them have been collected in books over the last 100 years, here are the ones that got away. In this book you will encounter classic series detectives including Colonel Gore, Roger Sheringham, Hildegarde Withers and Henri Bencolin; Hercule Poirot solves 'The Incident of the Dog's Ball'; Roderick Alleyn returns to New Zealand in a recently discovered television drama by Ngaio Marsh; and Dorothy L. Sayers' chilling 'The House of the Poplars' is published for the first time. With a full-length novella by John Dickson Carr and an unpublished radio script by Cyril Hare, this diverse collection concludes with some early 'flash fiction' commissioned by Collins' Crime Club in 1938. Each mini story had to feature an orange, resulting in six very different tales from Peter Cheyney, Ethel Lina White, David Hume, Nicholas Blake, John Rhode and - in his only foray into writing detective fiction - the publisher himself, William Collins.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Book is in Very Good+ condition. Through stories, understand what it is like to live & flyfish in Alaska, year-round. Join Ken with crazy, interesting friends through the seasons Float tubing for grayling, pursuing prehistoric pike, plus trout & salmon. Ken Marsh will take you on a flyfishing adventure as only a native who has lived and flyfished his entire life in Alaska can. you won t find a catered, cozy flyfishing camp with protective, professional guides in these stories. Instead, you ll join Ken and his sometimes crazy, always interesting friends as they flyfish through the seasons in the real Alaska. Through it all, they re on a search for solitude, for the untrammeled, and for a place where angler and fish can meet in one moment that can t be taken back or forgotten. it s the same search all flyfishers are on, but the scale is, like the state itself, much grander than most of the Lower Forty-eight.
