Añadir al carritoFirst American edition, 8vo, pp. [8], 183, [1]; pictorial endpapers, fine copy in a fine dust jacket. "Printing and publishing The Haunted Monastery, The Red Pavilion, and The Lacquer Screen in Kuala Lumpur had been a most interesting and instructive experience, and also financially satisfying. But when these books proved so pop…ular that orders came in for hundreds of copies, my printer and I realized that this undertaking was growing too big for us to handle. I came into contact with William Heinemann Ltd. of London, and they undertook to republish the three novels, and also The Emperor's Pearl and Murder in Canton, bringing out two novels each succeeding year, while Scribners would bring out the American editions. Heinemann told me they saw a good market for more than the five volumes of the New Series and suggested I write some more novels to be published before the final story, Murder in Canton. After being transferred from Malaya to The Hague as Director of Research in our Foreign Office, I wrote The Willow Pattern, which first appeared in Dutch as a serial in the daily newspaper De Telegraaf. It was printed by Heinemann in substantially the same form as my manuscript. I attach to the manuscript my correspondence with Mr. Schaank, a former Director of Waterworks, about the course objects will take in a current situation, and I consulted my friend Dr. Haneveld about the symptoms of the plague. I also conducted a study of blue and white porcelain, the results of which I summarized in my postscript to this novel" (Van Gulik). Evers, p. 57.

Añadir al carritoLondon: Heinemann. 1965. 8vo. Publisher's teal cloth, lettered in dark blue to spine with small illustration to upper board, dark blue illustrated endpapers, in the illustrated dust jacket; pp. [8], 184, with 15 woodblock-style illustrations by the author; light sunning to jacket spine with very faint staining to rear, minimal w…ear to edges, mild toning to edges of text block; near fine.First UK edition, exquisitely illustrated by the author.Drawing on the conventions of traditional Chinese detective fiction, Van Gulik weaves three apparently unrelated crimes: the death of a wealthy merchant found in his study, a gruesome discovery at the foot of a staircase, and the brutal murder of a young woman. As the investigation unfolds, Judge Dee uncovers the complex connections binding the cases together.The character of Judge Dee is based on the historical Tang-dynasty magistrate Di Renjie (seventh century). The Willow Pattern is set during the later phase of Dee's career when he is serving as President of the Metropolitan Court, allowing Van Gulik to explore both judicial intrigue and court politics.First published in Dutch as a serial in De Telegraaf throughout 1964, the English and American editions followed in 1965.Evers, p. 57.
