Description
Item Description – Bedelia; by Vera Caspary; Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, first published 1945. From the blurb – Vera Caspary’s Laura was the thriller success of 1944. As novel, play and film it must have been read and seen by hundreds of thousands. In Bedelia, the author has written a book which is just as engrossing as a thriller and even better as a novel. The tension keeps the most blasé alert, there are no conventional detective story tricks, and in the last resort, the problem is a psychological one, to which, to a certain extent, every reader can give his or her own solution. Bedella is already being filmed in Hollywood for British production early in the New Year. Vera Louise Caspary (1899 – 1987) was an American writer of novels, plays, screenplays, and short stories. In her 18 published novels, 10 screenplays and four stage plays, Caspary's main theme, whether in a murder mystery, drama or musical comedy, was the working woman and her right to lead her own life, to be independent. This book, 174 pages, is in near-fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. The book is printed on war-time paper stock and has held up very well, except for some spotting on the front and bottom of the page block. There is an ownership name and London address on the first free endpaper.
