An eerie period piece set in Cornwall in the 1820s; the novel follows a group of murderous wreckers who run ships aground, kill the sailors and steal the loot. Filmed by Alred Hitchcock in 1939, starring Charles Laughton and Mareen O' Hara.

First edition; 8vo (185 x 130 mm); the usual age-toning to paper, a very small dent to bottom edge of text block discernible to leaves from about p. 281-300 but of no consequence; modern full navy blue morocco by Bayntun Riviere of Bath, one-line gilt-panelled with c-scroll design to spine panels and ruled ribs, marbled endpapers and all edges gilt, a very handsome copy.

Provenance

Provenance: Joan Whitney Payso (her Ex Libris to second upper, blank free endpaper).
