Illustrated card covers, sunned to spine and edges, with light shelfwear. Original price label on the back. Binding strong and tight. Frontispiece b/w illustration. 127pp., map, b/w illustrations. Contents clean and bright. The Red Barn Murder was an 1827 murder in Polstead, Suffolk, England. A young woman, Maria Marten, was shot dead by her lover William Corder at the Red Barn, a local landmark. The two had arranged to meet before eloping to Ipswich. Corder sent letters to Marten's family claiming that she was well, but after her stepmother spoke of having dreamed that Maria had been murdered, her body was discovered in the barn the next year. Corder was located in London, where he had married. He was returned to Suffolk and found guilty of murder in a well-publicised trial. In 1828, he was hanged at Bury St Edmunds in an execution witnessed by a huge crowd. The story provoked numerous newspaper articles, songs and plays. The village where the crime had taken place became a tourist attraction and the barn was stripped by souvenir hunters. Plays, ballads and songs about the murder remained popular throughout the next century and continue to be performed today. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.

Soft cover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. First edition. Paperback. 24.5 × 20.5cm, 92pp. Signed by William Arkle to the title page. From the back cover: This book is designed not only to give a very full account of William Arkle's paintings, but also to convey the understanding which he is trying to express in them. This is done through explanations of the individual pictures, through poems and through a series of essays. These essays, which are edited versions of talks, give a more informal insight into Arkle's thought than his previous book, A Geography of Consciousness, could do. The latter was a carefully built up system of philosophical understanding, while these more intimate talks approach the salient points of the message of Arkle's work over and over again from differing points of view. He is at great pains that we do not allow the simplest but most profound attitudes to pass us by, and he is thus constantly directing us to try and feel how a Creator would feel towards the object of His endeavour, His family of children to whom He wishes to give 'The Great Gift' of friendship. Condition: Good condition. Some light creasing to the covers and little tanning to the margins. Signed by Author(s).…
