Sinossi

Two green stones out of a Russian church, a grand duke's daughter hiding in a New York boarding house, and a Bolshevik agent with a scarred hand hunting both. MacGrath was a Syracuse newspaperman who became one of the best-paid novelists of his day and among the first to write seriously for the screen; this 1920 thriller catches the Red Scare while it was still going on, and it moves.

    The life of a novelist as his friend saw it: years of rejection, a father who despises the work, a girl who waits, and the slow arrival of a reputation. Edna Lyall was Ada Ellen Bayly, a clergyman's daughter who took a near-anagram of her own name and wrote novels that argued — for Irish Home Rule, for women, for freethinkers. This 1889 book is her quietest, and the publishing detail is exact.

    The Wonderful Tune - A weird...

    Jessie Douglas Kerruish was born in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool, County Durham in 1884. 
     
    Little is known about the author’s life and to a large extent her work remains either neglected or out of favour. 
     
    Her literary career got off to a very bright start in 1917 when she won the Hodder & Stoughton First Novel Prize for ‘Miss Haroun Al-Raschid’.  Five years later came her seminal work ‘The Undying Monster’, which today is still regarded as a macabre werewolf classic. 
     
    Throughout her career she contributed short stories to such popular periodicals as Novel, Lady's and Weekly Tale-Teller.  One of the best was ‘The Wonderful Tune’ and whilst the title sounds light and airy her dark imagination riddles the narrative.  Many of her works were set in exotic locations from North Africa to the Middle East. 
     
    Her output was small, limited to two collections of short stories and several novels. 
     
    During the 1930’s severe and debilitating migraines prevented her from working for any length of time and all she could muster was contributions to anthologies. 
     
    Jessie Douglas Kerruish died in Hove, Sussex in 1949, in obscurity.
