The Mirror Crack'd From Side To Side.
London: The Crime Club by Collins, 1962. [Crime Fiction] FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.256. Publisher's red cloth with black titles to spine. With the illustrated dust-jacket priced at 15s. Light spotting to edges, endpapers and title page, otherwise internally clean. Jacket a little toned to spine, with a large closed tear and chip to front cover, and a smaller closed tear to the head of the spine. Very good. A Miss Marple mystery, set in the sleepy village of St. Mary Mead, which seems throughout the years to have been the venue of more carnage than Cheapside during the Black Death. Basis for the all-star movie with Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Tony Curtis, Angela Lansbury, Kim Novak, Edward Fox, and in a very early uncredited role, Pierce Brosnan. This novel was dedicated to Margaret Rutherford, who was the first actress to bring Miss Marple to life on the big screen. Item #70346
