A Fine book in a Very Good dust jacket. Arthur Machen (1863-1947), pen name of Arthur Llewellyn Jones, was a Welsh author best-known for his works in the fantasy and supernatural horror genres. Many of his works contain Gothic elements. The Canning Wonder is one of Machen's nonfictional works and is about the sensational criminal case of Elizabeth Canning (1734-1773), an English maidservant who mysteriously disappeared in 1753 and just as mysteriously reappeared almost a month later. Canning had claimed that she had been held captive against her will and was initially not charged with any criminal offenses. However, a reexamination of the case and a retrial resulted in Canning being convicted of perjury. In his book, Machen makes the argument that Canning lied about some or most of her story. The truth behind what had happened to Canning remains a mystery to this day.
