A propos de cet article

First edition, first impression. Joseph Shearing was one of Long's many pseudonyms. " In 1932 she began to use the name Joseph Shearing for reconstructions of nineteenth-century crimes starting with Forget-me-Not (1932), based on the murder of the duchesse de Praslin. As Joseph Shearing she was prolific and successful; her identity was not revealed until 1942. As John Winch and Robert Paye she wrote children's literature, and as Margaret Campbell her candid autobiography The Debate Continues: being the Autobiography of Marjorie Bowen (1939)" (ODNB). Octavo. Original purple cloth, spine lettered in gilt, publisher's device to rear board in blind. With dust jacket. Spine rolled, a hint of rubbing to spine-ends and upper outer corner of rear board, spotting to edges, endleaves tanned. A very good copy in the dust jacket chipped at spine-ends, slightly rubbed on rear panel and with spotting to verso.
