Rest You Merry

CHARLOTTE MACLEOD

Publication: Mystery Guild, 1985, New York

First edition, Signed by the author on the title page. Illustrated by the author. Very fine in color pictorial stiff wrappers. A short story that is not a bibliomystery, but is related to the novel Rest You Merry published in 1978. This little vignette was written sometime around 1965 and rejected by Yankee magazine. After 10 years the author thought that here was the beginning of a full-length mystery novel. Peter Shandy's original approach to the Yuletide scene was retained, but prosaic Bemis College metamorphosed into Balaclava Agricultural College for the Peter Shandy novels. A nice companion piece and uncommon.
