2004réf. 020714Norfolk VA U.S.A.: Crippen & Landru Publishers 2004. 1st edition. A fine unread copy fine in dust jacket. Number 11 in the Lost Classic Series. Low print run as the publisher states that "The first printing of each book will be small perhaps 400-500 copies divided between clothbound copies in dustjacket and trade softcover." In 1930 Anthony Berkeley Cox founded London's Detection Club. His novels and short stories are among the finest examples of the fair play challange-to-the-reader tradition of the Golden Age. Berkeley punctiliously presented all the clues to the reader but as Tony Medawar and Arthur Robinson point out in their introduction he loved showing that clues could be interpreted in multiple ways and Sheringham is often wrong in his conclusions. The title story in "The Avenging Chance" has long been considered one of the five or six greatest formal detective stories. This book also collects seven additional Sheringham and Moresby one of which "The Mystery of Horne's Copse" is a recently discovered novelette. Also included are Berkeley's own tongue-in-cheek satire of the Sheringham stories and a complete checklist of the Sheringham novels and tales. Introduction by Medwar and Robinson. . First Edition. Hard Cover. New/Fine. Illus. by Miller Deborah. Book. Crippen & Landru, Publishers Hardcover

NAM. 1952-04-1 The Charge of the Heavy Brigade would be far better known were it not for the famous action of the Light Brigade later the same day. With luck and skill 800 British heavy cavalry charged 3000 Russian light horsemen and drove them from the field. The large Russian force stopped as it came towards the British camp. This mistake laid it open to attack and 300 British heavy cavalry charged the Russians. The British had movement on their side and the rest of the Heavy Brigade followed up the charge. The much larger Russian force was put to flight with few casualties. The whole action is said to have lasted eight minutes.
