DALY, ELIZABETH. — Evidence of Things Seen.

London: Hammond, Hammond & Company, 1955. Rep.Ex library. "Clara knew something was wrong the first time she saw the old woman in the sun bonnet. Indeed, if Henry had not come when he did, Clara would not have survived to tell him the 'evidence of things seen'. Henry knew what he was up against even before he saw Clara, and his fight to save her life, to keep her from being convicted of murder, and, above all, to keep her sane, presents one of the most exciting stories Miss Daly has yet written". Pp.191, front free endpaper removed, library inkstamp and old tape stains to inside front board, more old tape marks to rear endpapers, pages slightly toned. Red cloth, spine a little sunned. Scarce. Good.** "Elizabeth Daly published sixteen books all of which featured her main series character Henry Gamadge. He is a bibliophile and expert on rare books and manuscripts which makes her books particularly appealing to fans of the bibliomystery" (GoodReads).** "Charles Shibuk, in St. James Guide to Crime and Mystery Writers, said that Daly was Agatha Christie's favorite American mystery writer. Daly successfully used many of the literary conventions employed by Christie and other writers of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, he said, and "was always both civilized and literate". The Mystery Writers of America, referring to her as "the grande dame of women mystery writers", awarded her a "Special Edgar" in 1961". (wiki).
