About This Item
London: T. Werner Laurie, N.d. [1910]. 8vo, pp. 251, 4pp. advertisements bound in at rear. Illustrated boards, lettered in black to front panel and spine. Boards a little darkened and with some rubbing to spine ends, but a very well preserved copy. First edition. After early employment as a governess and actress, Florence Warden [1957-1929] settled down to an extremely prolific career as a popular novelist, turning her hand to mystery, murder, romance and ghost stories with equal facility. (Miss Ferriby's Clients, set in an apparently haunted house and featuring seances, robbery and murder, is typical of Warden's output.) Her work was in huge demand through subscription libraries, and at her peak she was publishing as many as eight novels a year. By the time of her death in 1929 she had published more than one hundred and fifty novels. A very well preserved copy, and now scarce. HUBIN, p. 425
