Rear board soiled pencil underlining and marginalia pencil names on front endpapers. 1929 Hard Cover. viii 349 pp. After solving the Greene murders Philo Vance has taken a well-earned holiday in Switzerland. Returning to New York City he finds his old chum District Attorney Anthony Markham up against a bizarre series of murders inspired by children’s nursery rhymes. The first murder involving a beautiful young woman and a private archery range was apparently based on “Who Killed Cock Robin'”; it is followed by more hideous deaths referencing “Mother Goose.” But Philo Vance is not a man to be fobbed off with points to juvenilia. Markham and his colleagues may be worried that a certain Mr. H. Dumpty is riding for a great fall but Philo Vance suspects a connection to a rather more sophisticated writer. In this “classic detective novel . . . a splendid example of the form . . . the game is played full out and to splendid effect” Mystery File. Grosset & Dunlap hardcover books

1934rif. 83668New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1934. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. A very good copy with some smudging and light staining in a supplied but sympathetic very good price-clipped dust jacket with slight internal stains. Inscribed by the author: "To Dr. Hugh Stott Taylor With great appreciation for his gracious assistance and with warm personal regards. S.S. Van Dine." The English-born Taylor was a chemist who spent much of his life at Princeton and who in World War II played a prominent role in the American scientific effort directing a number of research projects and contributing to the development of the atomic bomb with his discovery of the most effective catalyst for producing heavy water. He was knighted by both the Queen and the Pope in the same month. A Chair in chemistry is named for him at Princeton. The inscription would seem to indicate that Taylor provided advice to Van Dine about the novel or at least to Willard Huntington Wright as Van Dine was a pseudonym.
