‎The Mystery of Edwin Drood.‎

‎London: Chapman & Hall 1870. First edition from the original parts Dickens' final novel with them bound in the rear. Octavo bound in three quarters calf over marbled boards frontispiece portrait of dickens 12 wood-engraved plates original wrappers bound in rear. In near fine condition. Charles Dickens’ novels regularly revolved around masks dual identities and other secrets. The Mystery of Edwin Drood however “enlarged and strengthened such matters in the pursuit of a larger vision a vision which depicts the ‘lanes of light’ between the dark pillars of a crypt and which reflects upon ‘that mysterious fire which lurks in everything†Ackroyd 1056. Unfortunately at the time of his death on June 9 1870 Dickens had written only six parts of the book three of which had been published. The remaining three were published posthumously. Dickens had so closely guarded the plot’s outlines even from his closest friends that to this day the identity of Drood’s killer remains a topic for speculation discussion and debate. “There are few of Dickens’ stories which are superior in the matter of composition… one of the best unfinished mystery stories in literature†Eckel 96. This tantalizing tale has been adapted in film and television several times. Chapman & Hall hardcover‎

"When Dickens died on June 9 1870 he had completed only enough of his manuscript to make up six installments leaving unfinished a work which had commanded the widest attention for its opening numbers and which promised to be one of his most effective and popular books. Although only three parts had been issued prior to his death publication of the work continued and on completion with Part 6 of all available material the vast army of readers was left high and dry as to 'The Mystery'" Hatton and Cleaver 373.

‎THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD‎

‎1870. New York: Harper & Brothers 1870. 2 pp preliminary ads plus 44 pp terminal ads dated Oct 1870. Original yellow-brown pictorial wrappers.<br/> <br/> Early second American edition published in late September about three weeks after Fields Osgood's edition -- and about three months after Dickens's death in June left this tale unfinished. The front cover illustration the same as appeared on the six UK parts was the work of Charles A. Collins -- Dickens's son-in-law and Wilkie's brother; the scenes shown formed the basis for the numerous attempts after Dickens's death to complete or "solve" the mystery. Harper had been serializing DROOD in parts as a monthly Dickens supplement to their Harper's Weekly but Fields Osgood had earlier paid Dickens an advance for book publication. The Harper serialization -- as well as the fact that this Harper edition came out only in wrappers -- probably explains why Harper's edition is so scarce today: many of their readers had already read the tale serially. This copy does bear the earliest and usual date October 1870 on both the ads and rear cover and the preliminary list of titles properly ends with No. 349. This copy does NOT have the Dickens portrait leaf which Smith notes is true with some copies. Copies without that leaf may be a later state but possibly copies WITH it may be a later state; a third possibility is that some initial buyers removed that leaf for framing in honor of the author who had just died. Condition is very good with very little of the wrapper lacking but with a couple of dampstains affecting the front cover and first leaves. This Harper edition is MUCH scarcer than the Fields Osgood edition for the reasons cited above; this is the first time in 40 years that we have offered it in original wrappers.
