About the Item
A signed limited edition of this collection of essays by a host of popular authors such as Agatha Christie and J. R. R. Tolkien on their early literary influences, with this copy being presented to the celebrated queen of crime, Agatha Christie.
A limited edition, with this being number 23 out of 100. The first edition was limited to 500 copies numbered and signed by the editors, with this being the smaller limitation of 100 copies, which were for presentation and not for sale.

Agatha Christie's contribution for this work discusses her enjoyment in Stanley Weyman's historical novels and the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Signed by both the editors to the edition page.
This limited edition work features a collection of essays from popular literary figures and important individuals, discussing their early literary influences, and was edited by Evelyn Byrne and Otto Penzler.
