Oleander Press, Cambridge, 1977. First Edition. Hardcover (Printed Boards). As New/No Dust Jacket. Description of subject matter printed on insides of covers; The part played by the Cambridge press in rallying and reflecting local public opinion on local and national issues is discussed by Michael Murphy clearly and judiciously, and at the right level of selected detail. Cambridge was not only an important country town but also one of the two university centres, and its reactions therefore possess an especial significance in terms of national opinion. Moreover, the career of Benjamin Flower, editor of the Cambridge Intelligencer, was of national importance. Flower, who has been half-forgotten since his own day, now emerges as an important early Radical and as one of the great pioneers of English journalism, who spoke to a national readership from a local base. In Michael Murphy's words, at the height of the French Revolution in 1793 Flower 'set out to instruct public opinion by reporting… Read More

Illustrator: Ernest Frankl (photo's.). end-papers decorated with green marbled pattern; The glories and treasures of Cambridge - some famous, others much less well-known than they should be - are so extraordinary that they need to be presented and assessed afresh for each successive generation.

MacMillan, New York, 1950. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. It was a bewildering problem that confronted Ludovic Travers when the spivs who threatened the barmaid, Maudie Brown, let fall word of a proposed robbery at the bungalow of a famous actress.

And why was there a crying baby at the bungalow? And what connection could there have been with a certain famous clown? And why the queer movements of a once famous conductor?
