Short Stories from The Strand — Folio Society Edition

Selected by Geraldine Beare | Introduction by Frank Delaney | Illustrated by David Eccles | First Printing 1992 | Fine Condition

The Strand Magazine gave the world some of the finest short fiction ever published. Between 1895 and 1948 its pages introduced readers to characters, voices and stories that have never been forgotten — and this Folio Society anthology gathers twenty five of the very best into one beautifully produced volume.

Arthur Conan Doyle. H.G. Wells. P.G. Wodehouse. Graham Greene. Max Pemberton. A lineup that speaks for itself. Selected with impeccable taste by Geraldine Beare and introduced by Frank Delaney, this is a collection that rewards both the casual browser and the dedicated reader of classic British short fiction equally.

The Folio Society edition is elegant and understated. Grey cloth binding with gilt panel and decorative elements, David Eccles' atmospheric black and white illustrations and decorations throughout, and the whole thing housed in a sturdy matching slipcase. 318 pages of some of the finest magazine fiction the twentieth century produced.

Condition: Fine throughout. Pages clean and bright with no foxing, marks or inscriptions. Binding tight and vibrant with minimal shelf wear. Slipcase solid with only light rubbing consistent with careful storage. A very well preserved first printing.

About this edition: The companion volume to Crime Stories from The Strand and Adventure Stories from The Strand — part of a celebrated Folio Society trilogy dedicated to the legendary magazine. If you are collecting all three this is an essential addition to your shelf.
