Quarter Leather. Condition: New. Rodríguez, Juan Esteban (illustrator). Limited Edition. A new copy, sealed in the Folio Society packaging, as received directly from the publisher. The first great English detective novel, Wilkie Collins' 'The Moonstone' is presented in a Folio Society limited edition of 750 hand-numbered copies, this being #649. Featuring a fascinating introduction by doyenne of crime writing, Val McDermid, and new illustrations by Juan Esteban Rodríguez, each copy has been signed by both the introducer and the illustrator to a letterpress-printed limitation tip. In Collins' seminal novel of 1868, a priceless gem, a diamond from India imbued with religious significance, is stolen on the very night it is given as an eighteenth birthday present to a captivating heiress; and so the mystery begins. The rules for the golden age of crime novels are formed in the pages of 'The Moonstone' - an English country house, a complex cast of characters, the bungling local constabulary, a celebrated sleuth and the reconstruction of the crime. Collins' intricate, ingenious plot combines suspense, drama and romance with an astute commentary on society in a richly humorous novel told through a series of narratives related by a variety of voices. This sumptuous limited edition is quarter-bound in indigo leather blocked in gold foils, with cloth sides printed with a panoramic view of Lady Verinder's country house. The book features gilded page tops and a ribbon marker, and measures 10'' x 7'', with 536 pages printed on Munken Pure paper, 10 illustrations including 2 double-page spreads printed on Natural Evolution Ivory paper, and endpapers printed with a design in gold ink on Sirio paper. Housed in a cloth-covered slipcase blocked in gold foils. Printed and bound in Germany. This is a new and unopened copy which will be shipped in the original FS packaging and an outer box for additional protection. Heavy/oversize. U.K. postage at default rate but international buyers may be asked for a little extra. Enquiries welcome. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed for, and fully insured.
