New York, New York, USA: Dover Pubns, 1985. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Unabridged Dover (1985) republication of the first book edition, published by Richard Bentley and Son, London, 1879. Author introduction. First published in 1860. Clean and unmarked wraps with lady in carriage being greeted by the rogue kissing her hand. Whisper of wear to corners. Wilkie Collins, 1824-1889, is considered to have been the first English author of bona fide detective and mystery novels. "A Rogue's Life" is a first-rate Victorian tale, an autobiography of an unrelenting, unrepentant rascal, a fun, rollicking, five-part novelette -- love at first sight, unconventional wills, peculiar Scottish marriage laws. It is gay and bantering and quite unlike his other novels. 609 pages. 5.25 x 8.5 inches. 1985, Dover Pubns, New York, New York, USA
