Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three brilliant novels of mystery and adventure in one special edition John Meade Falkner was not a full time professional writer. In fact, during the First World War he became chairman of Armstrong Whitworth, the huge British arms manufacturer responsible for the construction of airplanes, cars, ships and more. Although he wrote some non-fiction (mostly travel guides), Falkner is primarily remembered for his classic of adventure fiction, the often dramatised 'Moonfleet'. Set in mid-eighteenth century England, the novel is a grippingly told smuggling tale that is now regarded as a classic. 'Moonfleet' is joined in this unique Leonaur edition by Falkner's two other novels. Aficionados of the ghostly tale will find much to reward them in the pages of the 'Lost Stradivarius'. Lauded as the novel that could potentially have been written by the master of the literary supernatural short story, M.R. James, the plot centres around the violin of the title which is said to conjure the spirit of its former owner. 'The Nebuly Coat' is another gripping mystery set in Dorset, in which young architect Edward Westray, the principal character, must unravel the secrets of the suspicious Blandamers, whose coat of arms features the 'nebuly'-a distinctive heraldic band device. This three-in-one Leonaur edition provides an excellent opportunity for both enthusiasts and newcomers to Falkner's work to read or reread his highly regarded novels in a single satisfying and substantial volume. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Book excerpt: In 1757, Moonfleet is a small village near the sea in the south of England. It gets its name from a formerly prominent local family, the Mohunes, whose coat of arms includes a symbol shaped like a capital 'Y'. John Trenchard is an orphan who lives with his aunt, Miss Arnold. Village legend tells of the notorious Colonel John "Blackbeard" Mohune who is buried in the family crypt under the church. He is reputed to have stolen a diamond from King Charles I and hidden it. His ghost is said to wander at night looking for it and the mysterious lights in the churchyard are attributed to his activities. One Sunday, while attending the service at church, John hears strange sounds from the crypt below. He thinks it is the sound of the coffins of the Mohune family. The next day, he finds Elzevir and Ratsey against the south wall of the church. They claim to be checking for damage from the storm, but John suspects they are searching for Blackbeard's ghost.

Book Synopsis The Greatest Diamond in the World (and Its Curse) by : A. G. Gaydon
Download or read book The Greatest Diamond in the World (and Its Curse) written by A. G. Gaydon and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the world's greatest diamond, charting its discovery and movement over time and continents. From Dorset to India, Holland and France. It exclusively reveals for the first time, more than a century after John Meade Falkner wrote his smuggling novel 'Moonfleet' that the diamond at the heart of his book, once belonging to King Charles 1 wasn't imaginary but that it always existed. It exists today, larger than life, but it comes with an ancient curse which brings misery and misfortune to all who own it. Meade Falkner (May1858-July1932) was an interesting character. Throughout Moonfleet he carefully avoided revealing the identity of many of his characters and places. The effect is to trigger his readers' imaginations to know the truth of who and what was really behind his fiction. Such is also the purpose of this book, to understand and reveal what lies beneath his shrouds of secrecy.
