The Globetrotter Excursions in the East Amy Miller In the mid-nineteenth century, as routes opened up, a new generation of travellers embarked on excursions to China, India and Japan. Globetrotters – leisure tourists with a keen interest in experiencing authentic culture – flocked to the East, casting aside preconceptions and gravitating towards what they hoped to be the unchanged landscapes and traditions of Eastern cultures.

Hardback £30 ISBN 978 0 7123 5258 1 256 pages, 240 x 165 mm Over 100 colour illustrations Publishing May 2019

The relics of their travels – the food they consumed and the souvenirs they brought back – allowed globetrotters to distinguish themselves from common tourists. They proudly returned with accounts that presented a global East, challenging public assumptions about the cultures they had visited and charting a journey of self-transformation through travel.

Amy Miller is currently completing a PhD on the history and material culture of the global tourist in the nineteenth century at University College London. She has an MA from the Bard Graduate Center, New York, in Decorative Arts and Material Culture Studies. Formerly Curator of Decorative Arts and Material Culture at the National Maritime Museum, she is the author of Dressed to Kill: Naval Uniform, Masculinity and Fashion 1748–1857.

Alice’s Adventures Under Ground

Playing Jane

The Original Manuscript

Jane Austen Adapted for Drawing-room Performance

Lewis Carroll

Rosina Filippi One ‘golden afternoon’ in Oxford, in July 1862, the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson accompanied three young sisters, Lorina, Alice, and Edith, on a boating trip. To keep the children amused, Dodgson began to tell a tale about an inquisitive youngster called Alice, and her escapades in an underground world. Two years later, on the urgings of the heroine, Alice Liddell, he wrote the tale down and gave it to her as an early Christmas gift.

NEW EDITION Hardback £14.99 ISBN 978 0 7123 5243 7 128 pages, 187 x 124 mm 42 illustrations Publishing April 2019

Lewis Carroll (1832–98) is the pseudonym of mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, which he adopted when publishing his famous children’s novels and nonsense verse. Best known for his fantastical tale Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), Carroll later published Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There (1871). Carroll was an avid letter-writer and wrote numerous stories and poems, including The Hunting of the Snark in 1876.

08

New Titles

Dodgson’s story, later revised and illustrated by John Tenniel, would go on to become one of the most famous and best-loved children’s books of all time – published as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, under the pen name Lewis Carroll. However, the original tale – Alice’s Adventures Under Ground – remains less well-known. In this facsimile edition of Dodgson’s manuscript – now one of the British Library’s most treasured possessions – with its accompanying commentary by former British Library curator Sally Brown, modern readers can enjoy the expressive story as it was first told.

Hardback £9.99 ISBN 978 0 7123 5223 9 160 pages, 178 x 111 mm Includes illustrations Publishing February 2019

Rosina Filippi (1866–1930) was a progressive actor and director who was associated with many of the theatrical greats of her generation.

Filippi was also an advocate for women’s rights and was the first person to dramatise Jane Austen for performance. Margaret Fletcher (1862–1943) was an English illustrator and amateur actor. She was a social critic and feminist and went on to found the Catholic Women’s League.

The grasping social climber, the tiresome neighbour, the spirited heroine, the most unsuitable of suitors, and, of course, the perfect love match, are all some of Jane Austen’s timeless literary inventions.

Mistress of a sharp wit, Austen’s observations on society and the roles and rights of women are familiar today not only through her novels but from countless screen and stage adaptations.

However, the original dramatisation of Austen was first published in 1895,

by Victorian feminist and actor Rosina Filippi, who skilfully adapted iconic scenes from Austen’s novels into oneact plays for performance. Playing Jane evokes the romance of Victorian drawingroom entertainment at its best, and with accompanying stage directions and advice on the correct silks and muslins to wear, you too can learn how to play Jane.

The Plays Literary tastes – Northanger Abbey The Settlement Question – Sense and Sensibility The Reading of Jane Fairfax’s Letter – Emma A Strawberry Picnic – Emma Three Loves – Emma The Proposal of Mr Collins – Pride and Prejudice Lady Catherine’s Visit – Pride and Prejudice

Death Has Deep Roots A Second World War Mystery

Surfeit of Suspects George Bellairs

Michael Gilbert The whole thing looks to me like a jigsaw puzzle which has been half done by an inexpert child. Any bit that seems to fit has been left in. Any bit that doesn’t fit has been disregarded.

At 8 o’clock in the evening on the 8th November, there was a terrific explosion in Green Lane, Evingden.

The offices of Excelsior Joinery Company are no more; the 3 directors are killed and the peace of a quiet town in Surrey lies in ruins. When the supposed cause of ignited gas leak is dismissed and the presence of dynamite revealed, Superintendent Littlejohn of Scotland Yard is summoned to the scene.

At the Central Criminal Court, an eager crowd awaits the trial of Victoria Lamartine, an active participant in the Resistance during the war. She is now employed at the Family Hotel in Soho, where Major Eric Thoseby has been found murdered. The cause of death?

A stabbing reminiscent of techniques developed by the Maquisards.

Paperback £8.99 ISBN 978 0 7123 5228 4 288 pages, 190 x 130 mm Publishing March 2019

While the crime is committed in England, its roots are buried in a vividly depicted wartime France.

Thoseby is believed to have fathered Lamartine’s child, and the prosecution insist that his death is revenge for his abandonment of Lamartine and her arrest by the Gestapo.

A last-minute change in Lamartine’s defence counsel grants solictor Nap Rumbold just eight days to prove her innocence, with the highest of stakes should he fail. The proceedings of the courtroom are interspersed with Rumbold’s perilous quest for evidence, which is aided by his old wartime comrades.

New Titles

But beneath the sleepy veneer of Evingden lies a hotbed of deep-seated grievances. Confounding Littlejohn’s investigation is an impressive cast of suspicious persons, each concealing their own axe to grind.

Paperback £8.99 ISBN 978 0 7123 5238 3 256 pages, 190 x 130 mm Publishing April 2019

George Bellairs was the pseudonym of Harold Blundell (1902–1985), a prominent banker and philanthropist from Manchester who became the author of a popular series of detective stories featuring Thomas Littlejohn, which were published for nearly forty years. The Dead Shall be Raised & Murder of a Quack and Death of a Busybody are available as British Library Crime Classics.

Bellairs’ novel of small-town grudges with calamitous consequences revels in the abundant possible solutions to the central crime as a masterpiece of misdirection.

“Never make trouble in the village” is an unspoken law, but it’s a binding law. You may know about your neighbours’ sins and shortcomings, but you must never name them aloud. It’d make trouble, and small societies want to avoid trouble.

From picturesque canals to the swirling currents of the ocean, a world of secrets lies buried beneath the surface of the water. Dubious vessels crawl along riverbeds, while the murky depths conceal more than one gruesome murder.

When Dr Raymond Ferens moves to a practice at Milham in the Moor in North Devon, he and his wife are enchanted with the beautiful hilltop village lying so close to moor and sky.

At first they see only its charm, but soon they begin to uncover its secrets – envy, hatred and malice.

The stories in this collection will dredge up delight in crime fiction fans, as watery graves claim unintended dwellers and disembodied whispers penetrate the sleeping quarters of a ship’s captain.

How might a thief plot their escape from a floating crime scene? And what is to follow when murder victims, lost to the ocean floor, inevitably resurface?

Everyone says that Sister Monica, warden of a children’s home, is a saint – but is she? A few months after the Ferens’ arrival her body is found drowned in the mill-race. Chief Inspector Macdonald faces one of his most difficult cases in a village determined not to betray its dark secrets to a stranger.

A vicious plague has broken out in China and spread to Japan. The world governments look on callously, until the shadow of the Hueste virus begins to sweep across the rest of the globe.

If only they knew what was really in his mind . . . But they wouldn’t believe.

They wouldn’t understand the cold single-mindedness of a desperate man.

When London journalist Philip Wade learns that his article on nuclear weapons testing has been censored by the British government, he is prompted to investigate the truth that lies behind it. Philip’s search leads to a mysterious job offer in a newly-formed government department, and he soon realises the lasting damage that the nuclear tests have caused. The country is rife with uncertainty and distrust – then the water levels start to drop.

Charles Eric Maine was the pseudonym of David McIlwain (1921–1981), a prolific writer of science fiction novels in the 1950s and 1960s. His stories often feature a fast-paced thriller plot that experiments with the boundaries of new scientific technology.

New Titles

This gripping apocalyptic novel, originally published in 1958, asks pertinent questions about censorship and the potential for violence in the face of disappearing resources. The Tide Went Out outlines the horrors that arise when we are forced to ask the question: ‘what happens when the water runs out?’

The pandemic draws nearer to Britain; shelters are hastily constructed across the country, but for whom? As the death toll booms and the populace finds themselves sacrificed for the sake of the elite, the cry for revolution rings out amidst the sirens.

Paperback £8.99 ISBN 978 0 7123 5218 5 256 pages, 190 x 130 mm Publishing February 2019

Maine’s savage portrayal of society on the brink of ruin is a cruel forerunner of a more pessimistic science fiction of the 1960s. This subversive novel shows that even the heroes may succumb to brutality as the world descends into a desperate scramble for the last shred of what it means to be human: survival.

Menace of the Machine Edited by Mike Ashley

The End of the World and Other Catastrophes Edited by Mike Ashley

Technological advance is never straightforward. A man is murdered by an automaton built for chess. A computer system designed to arbitrate justice develops a taste for iron-fisted, fatal rulings. An AI governing what we now know as an internet wreaks havoc on society after removing all forms of censorship.

Sound the sirens! The end is here, and it comes in many forms in this new collection of apocalyptic short stories from the classic age of science fiction.

Join humanity on the brink of destruction in 13 doom-laden visions from the 1890s to the 1960s, featuring rare tales from the Library’s vaults.

Tales of plague seizing an over-polluted capital, a world engulfed in absolute darkness by some cosmic disaster, and of poignant dreams of a silent planet after the last echoes of humanity have died away.

Assembled with parts from the late 19th century to the 1960s, this new collection of classic stories warns of the possible threats, both comic and severe, of a world in which human and machine live side by side.

Paperback £8.99 ISBN 978 0 7123 5242 0 288 pages, 190 x 130 mm Publishing April 2019

A delightfully, and worryingly, prescient selection for today’s world in which robotic coexistence is passing with each day from speculation to reality.

Paperback £8.99 ISBN 978 0 7123 5273 4 288 pages, 190 x 130 mm Publishing May 2019

Extreme climate change, nuclear annihilation, comet strike; calamities self-inflicted and from beyond the steer of humankind vie to deal the last blow in this countdown from the first whisper of possible extinction to the Earth’s final sunrise.

Mike Ashley is the author and editor of more than a hundred books, and is one of the foremost historians of popular fiction. His books include Adventures in The Strand, Out of This World and The Age of Storytellers: British Popular Fiction Magazines 1880–1950. His multi-volume history of science fiction magazines is published by Liverpool University Press.

Uncanny Tales of the Railways

Bewildering Tales of Dark Fantasy

Edited by Mike Ashley

Edited by Mike Ashley Howling down the tunnels comes a new collection showcasing the greatest stories of strange happenings on the tracks, many of which are republished here for the first time since their original departure.

The events which I purpose detailing are of so extraordinary a character that I am quite prepared to meet with an unusual amount of incredulity and scorn.

Between horror and fantasy lies a world in which the inexplicable remains unsolved and the rational mind is assailed by impossible questions.

Welcome to the realm of Dark Fantasy, where safe answers are beyond reach and accounts of unanswerable dilemma find their home.

Waiting beyond the barrier are ghostly travelling companions bent on disturbing the commutes of the living, a subway car disappearing into a different dimension without a trace, and a man’s greatest fears realized on the ghost train of a carnival.

An express ticket to unforgettable journeys into the supernatural, from the open railways of Europe and America to the pressing dark of the tube.

The Weird Tales of William Hope Hodgson Edited by Xavier Aldana Reyes

The Face in the Glass The Gothic Tales of Mary Elizabeth Braddon Edited by Greg Buzwell A young girl whose love for her fiancé continues even after her death; a sinister old lady with claw-like hands who cares little for the qualities of her companions provided they are young and full of life; and a haunted mirror that foretells of approaching death for those who gaze into its depths. These are just some of the haunting tales gathered together in this macabre collection of short stories.

I have tumbled upon one of the most peculiar cases of ‘haunting’—or devilment of some sort—that I have come against. Now listen.

A splash of something huge resounds through the sea-fog. In the stillness of a dark room, some unspeakable evil is making its approach.

This new selection offers the most chilling and unsettling of Hodgson’s short fiction, from encounters with abominations at sea to fireside tales of otherworldly forces from his inventive ‘occult detective’ character Carnacki, the ghost finder.

Paperback £8.99 ISBN 978 0 7123 5233 8 304 pages, 190 x 130 mm Publishing April 2019

William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) is renowned as a master of nautical mystery and horror stories, which possess a unique authenticity due to Hodgson’s youth spent at sea and in the navy. He is also celebrated as the creator of the memorable occult detective character, Carnacki.

Hodgson wrote many classic ghost and sea stories before his death near Ypres during the First World War.

Lovecraftian fiction, with its potential to redefine the role of humanity within the universe and its promise of great monsters from beyond, has been incredibly influential for writers the world over.

The Irish Times These short tales of sheer horror have far more impact … I think it’s safe to say already that I’ll be recommending the whole collection when I finish it.

Fiction Fan

Included in Crimesquad’s 2018 Summer Top Ten

As featured in The Sunday Times Crime Club and The Times Diary

Hugely enjoyable for its period detail.

Sunday Express

What makes the novel so readable is its depiction of life in the House of Commons ... [Wilkinson’s] affectionately satirical insider’s view … goes some way to solving one of the biggest and most urgent of current mysteries: what on earth makes our politicians tick?

Daily Telegraph

The Arsenal Stadium Mystery is an unusual and inventive detective story that works murder and intrigue into a setting left largely untouched by the majority of other crime authors … It features a seemingly unique method of killing, an insightful detective and plenty of viable suspects, and it is another worthy addition to the British Library’s excellent Crime Classics series.

Nudge Book A well paced novel with an helpful and informative introduction from Martin Edwards, this is to be recommended to even the most football resistant mystery fan.

Northern Reader I marvel at the grey matter somersaulting that goes on for everyone involved!

Bookphace

Press Coverage Highlights

As one of the first female cabinet ministers, she brings an easy familiarity with Westminster to her only crime novel.

Daily Mail For anyone who is interested in the House of Commons, but also likes a truly good yarn, this story, written in 1932, fits the bill brilliantly … here is a well-constructed, imaginative take on the classic-era murder.

On Magazine A neat little ‘locked room mystery’ which combines politics, finances, and life during the Great Depression.
