Sleeping It Off.</p><p>Who killed Edwin Drood Was he in fact murdered at all And who is the very white-haired and black-eyebrowed Datchery Those were the major questions left in mystery when Dickens died after writing only about half of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. And Garfield's attempt at completing the book--hardly the first such--wisely chooses to solve the murder mystery in the most generally accepted manner the manner clearly indicated by Dickens' notes and conversations: opium addict Jasper is the killer and he deposited his nephew's body in the quicklime beneath the Cathedral. On other counts however the plot turns here are somewhat disappointing. Datchery is not the lawyer Grewgious in disguise nor Helena Landless . . . but an actor-turned-detective working for Grewgious: an awfully mundane explanation. A second murder--of Neville Landless--seems arbitrary And Jasper's death-cell confession--though based perhaps too literally on Dickens' own stated intentions--seems rather more akin to Tony Perkins' schizoid Psycho revelation than to anything that Dickens would have written. As for Garfield's style in the concluding 100 pages--it's an agreeable enough compromise: a modern equivalent of a Dickensian style instead of an imitation. But it must be said that Dickens' other-worldly aura collapses almost immediately in Garfield's chapters: the dark themes are not picked up on; the pace is too hurried Dickens' own finale would probably have been at least half-again as long; the shifts between past and present tense become noticeably jarring with Dickens they're invisible; there's a contemporary flatness to the similes and digressions. All in all then this is a tasteful talented cautious job of work--good enough to give lucky readers an excuse to read or re-read the original but not how could it be the much-missed second half of a minor masterpiece.</p><p>Very Scarce Copy Of this Edition.</p><p><strong>Insurance & handling is included free.

THE POSTHUMOUS PAPERS OF THE PICKWICK CLUB
London: Chapman and Hall 1857. Early Issue. Engraved frontispiece and title-page and with a plethora of engraved illustrations by R. Seymour and H. K. Browne ‘Phiz’. 8vo very handsomely bound in contemporary 3/4 dark green morocco over green and blue marbled paper covered boards the spine with raised bands gilt tooled and bordered with gilt fillet lines and frames central gilt devices to the compartmentstwo compartments lettered in gilt marbled endleaves top edge gilt others marbled. xiv 609 pp. A very fine and attractive copy especially well preserved and in lovely condition. A VERY HANDSOME EARLY PRINTING IN A BEAUTIFUL BINDING. “Pickwick was issued when Dickens’ name was just beginning to excite the attention of prescient publishers and be recognized by readers in search of entertaining novels . The publication of PICKWICK which ran through twenty numbers made for all time an English classic--a book representative of its age exhibiting the life and the ideals of an important class of English folk on the threshold of the Victorian era.<br> Now over a century and a half later PICKWICK holds its assured place in the literature of our tongue and among all its author’s works seems to have the best chance of achieving what is known as immortality. The book was an improvisation. Dickens was led by his genius and by the indulgence of his jocuse fancy into picturing all the popular life which his varied experience in and out of London had made familiar to him. And it is a book that appeals throughout life--to the child and to the person of late years.’ Gissing Like others of Dickens’ creations it is a masterpiece. Chapman and Hall hardcover
