Softcover / Paperback. Condition: Fine. First edition. Softcover. On January 23, 1991, twin sisters Emma and Beckie Harper left their family home for a party. They didn't return that night and, the following day, local news reported a barn fire in a village outside their home town of Cheltenham. Human remains had been discovered… in the barn - they were Emma and Beckie, aged just 17yrs. In this moving account, the twins' mother, Vicky, relates the tragic events surrounding their deaths and the battle to discover the truth. Three young men admitted being at the barn with the twins and were charged with murder, later reduced to manslaughter. At the trial, Vicky and Stephen Harper endured the destruction of their daughters' characters while two of the accused were discharged and the third acquitted. The book explores issues which horrify every family. The violent death of a child. Even worse, the violent death of two. The destruction of the people who are left. The failure of the judicial system to establish the truth. To this day, Vicky and Steve struggle to make sense of the evidence which had been ignored and to uncover further details of that terrible night in January 1991. Illus., Epilogue + Chronology of Events. 274pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.

"Lolita" (1955), Nabokov's single most famous work, is one of the most controversial & widely read books of its time. Funny, satiric, poignant, filled w/ allusions to earlier American writers, it is the "confession" of a middle-aged, sophisticated European émigré's passionate obsession w/ a 12-year-old American "nymphet," & the story of their wanderings across a late 1940s America of highways & motels. Of its deeper meanings, Nabokov characteristically wrote: "I am neither a reader nor a writer of didactic fiction, and . . . Lolita has no moral in tow. For me a work of fiction exists only insofar as it affords me what I shall call aesthetic bliss, that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art (curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm." (Nabokov's film adaptation of Lolita, as originally written for director Stanley Kubrick, is also included.) "Pnin" (1957) is a comic masterpiece about a gentle, bald Russian émigré professor in an American college town who is never quite able to master its language, its politics, or its train schedule. Nabokov's years as a teacher provided rich background for this satirical picture of academic life, w/ an unforgettable figure at its center: "It was the world that was absent-minded and it was Pnin whose business it was to set it straight. His life was a constant war w/ insensate objects that fell apart, or attacked him, or refused to function, or viciously got themselves lost as soon as they entered the sphere of his existence." "Pale Fire" (1962) is a tour de force in the form of an ostensibly autobiographical poem by a recently deceased American poet & a critical commentary by an academic who is something other than what he seems. Its unique structure, pitting artist against seemingly worshipful critic, sets the stage for some of Nabokov's most intricate games of deception and concealment. "Pretending to be a curio," wrote Mary McCarthy, "it cannot disguise the fact that it is one of the great works of art of this century." The texts of this volume incorporate Nabokov's penciled corrections in his own copies of his works which correct long-standing errors. * VLADIMIR NABOKOV: After a brilliant literary career writing in Russian, Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) immigrated to the United States in 1940 & went on to an even more brilliant one in English. Between 1939 & 1974 he wrote the autobiography & 8 novels collected by the LOA in th authoritative 3-volume set. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).
