Edition details

A bundle of three Mystery & Crime books published by the Folio Society, including: - Travels With my Aunt by Graham Greene. Introduction by John Mortimer. 9 colour illustrations by John Holder. Bound in grey-green cloth colour blocked with a cover design. Cream endpapers. Light green slipcase. 267pp. 23.7x15.7cm. Described by Graham Greene as "the only book I have written just for the fun of it," Travels with My Aunt is the story of Henry Pulling, a retired and complacent bank manager who meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time at what he supposes to be his mother's funeral. She soon persuades Henry to abandon his dull suburban existence to travel her way—winding through Brighton, Paris, Istanbul, and Paraguay. Through Aunt Augusta, one of Greene's greatest comic creations, Henry joins a shiftless, twilight society; mixes with hippies, war criminals, and CIA men; smokes pot; and breaks all currency regulations. - Epitaph for a Spy by Eric Ambler. Introduced by Stella Rimington. 7 coloured illustrations by Paul Blow. Bound in cover picture blocked dark blue cloth. 220pp. When Josef Vadassy arrives at the Hotel de la Reserve at the end of his Riviera holiday, he is simply looking forward to a few more days of relaxation before returning to Paris. But in St. Gatien, on the eve of World War II, everyone is suspect-the American brother and sister, the expatriate Brits, and the German gentleman traveling under at least one assumed name. When the film he drops off at the chemist reveals photographs he has not taken, Vadassy finds himself the object of intense suspicion. The result is anything but the rest he had been hoping for. - Greenmantle by John Buchan. Colour frontispiece and 7 monochrome illustrations by Nick Hardcastle. Bound in dark blue cloth, cover and spine blocked with a design in gold, silver and black by Hardcastle. Light blue endleaves. Dark blue slipcase. 21.2x14.2cm. 298pp.
