First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. 1st American Edition; 1st Printing. This book is in Near Fine condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some beginning bumping. The text pages are clean and bright. The book covers have some beginning rubbing and edge wear to the spine ends and there is a thin strip of rubbing to the top rear spine joint. "Between 1936 and 1986, Stewart, writing under the pseudonym of Michael Innes, published nearly fifty crime novels and short story collections, which he later described as "entertainments". These abound in literary allusions and in what critics have variously described as "mischievous wit", "exuberant fancy" and a "tongue-in-cheek propensity" for intriguing turns of phrase. Julian Symons identified Innes as one of the "farceurs" crime writers for whom the detective story was "an over-civilized joke with a frivolity which makes it a literary conversation piece with detection taking place on the side" and described Innes's writing as being "rather in the manner of Peacock strained through or distorted by Aldous Huxley". His mysteries have also been described as combining "the elliptical introspection . [of] a Jamesian character's speech, the intellectual precision of a Conradian description, and the amazing coincidences that mark any one of Hardy's plots"." (from Wikipedia).

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by John Douet (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Ex library with usual stamps and defects. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, some slight yellowing to white parts of jacket, not price clipped (£1.80), no personal inscriptions, internally cleanish tight and square, overall a vg copy for ex library. 255pp. Gloria Montacute is in Venice, having temporarily removed herself from England following the death of her mother and inheriting a great collection of art treasures. The monetary value of these is of no consequence to her, she has previously worked in a lowly capacity in a London hospital and possesses a strong sense of social responsibility which outweighs any material wealth. This is in stark contrast to her dead mother who did not really appreciate the art, but viewed the treasures as rapidly soaring investments. Dealers gather and salivate, and one of them sends a handsome young man to Venice. Jake Gloria?s cousin, and Henry a neighbour, also pursue her. Gloria harbours suspicions that this is because of her inheritance. The conclusion is as much a surprise as we have come to expect from Stewart's novels, on this occasion woven by Gloria herself in a splendidly romantic manner. With wit and humour, yet with a vein of seriousness running throughout, Stewart manages to bring all of the characters to life and grip the reader right to the end.

He is equally well known for the works of literary criticism and contemporary novels published under his real name and for the crime fiction published under the pseudonym of Michael Innes.

He is aware, however, that his wife¿s first husband, who was killed in the war in Italy, was a brilliant artist. Something strange occurs when drawings by the latter suddenly appear on the market and a telegram summons Craine and his wife to Italy. There, the past grotesquely and irresistibly explodes into the present. ¿The author manages to depict the English social maze through his hero's intrigued and piercing gaze.¿.

Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£6.95), internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy for its age. 1821pp. Lady Cameron and Charles Hornett had been married some fifty years before, but Hornett has now forgotten all about it. Embarrassment is therefore evident when they find themselves as part of a party holidaying in Greece. Meanwhile, the Balmaynes realise they nothing about Roland Redpath, who is about to marry their daughter, but he is in fact the son of their one time dishonest butler. But that isn't the end of it, as yet more shocks and surprises are forthcoming as the story unfolds. In other stories in the collection there is a hitherto unknown Wordsworth manuscript and sensational development with regard to Coleridge. We are also taken to Vienna and to a rural location in an effort to reveal the identity of an arsonist. Full of wit, humour and suspense, these stories bear all of the hallmarks of the expected first class Stewart penmanship.
