Inscription reads, 'To ----/Happy Christmas/2005!/from --------/& --- & with the/author's regards/Richard Ryder'. Profusely illustrated with maps, family history charts, and photographs. This is a book on many levels. It is a biography of a family covering some 250 years. At one level it is a book about sex, murder, mystery and black magic. At another, it is about the serious business of national politics and war. But it is also about the everyday lives of a dynasty of Dorset squires, their lives, hopes and fears, and their roles in the complexities of the British class system. The author makes several discoveries of historical importance concerning a mysterious and influential eighteenth century pampthleteer and the macabre death of a key figure in the passage of the Great Reform Bill. This fascinating story includes sinister figures such as Aleister Crowley as well as pretty actresses, their love affairs, and a haunted house that was a meeing place for Churchill and Montgomery during the Second World War. With Addendum, Short Bibliography and Index. A near fine copy, in a near fine d/w, of a SCARCE first edition, first printing SIGNED BY AUTHOR, RICHARD D RYDER. Presentation Copy Inscribed & Signed.
