About This Item
London : Hodder & Stoughton, [1929]. An early reprint of the original 1928 edition. Bulldog Drummond has rid the world of Carl Peterson, but Irma lives on - Mrs Drummond is abducted, "hair-raising adventures in haunted houses, deserted mills, at Stonehenge at midnight, and in Irma's fantastic room. The probabilities of the tale may be far-fetched, but that will not prevent its being hailed as worthy successor to the stories of the series that have preceded it" (The Scotsman, 16th August 1928). Crown 8vo (20cm). 312,4pp. Original mustard-yellow cloth, lettered in black; a few minor marks and slight creases; mild spotting of edges; outer leaves lightly tanned, but overall a very good copy. Contemporary (1929) gift inscription.
