Item #40468 The Long Arm, and other Detective tales. Mary WILKINS.

The Long Arm, and other Detective tales.

London, Chapman and Hall. 1895. First Edition. Publisher's dark blue cloth lettered in gilt and delicately decorated with a floral design in light blue and grey. A most attractive book with slight wear to the extremties and bumping to the spine ends. A scarce collection of crime stories (mentioned in Greene and Glover). A desireable little bit of crime fiction. Also notable for the fact that contributing author George Ira Brett's police-detective Battle predates his rather more famous namesake, the series character Superintendent Battle, created by Agatha Christie some 30 years later.
