Description: Ellery Queen is a fascinating creation - a fictional detective and writer of detective fiction created by a pseudonymous detective fiction writer also named Ellery Queen who was actually two detective writers named Frederic Dannay and Manfred Bennington Lee who were *actually* two detective writers named Daniel Nathan and Emanuel Lepovsky. Nathan and Lepovsky created the Queen persona and his meta-fictional namesake in 1921, and the character (both version) have been in print ever since. Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine (a sister publication of Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine) has been publishing contemporary mystery fiction continuously since 1941. The Queen name and character featured in novels, short stories, films, TV and radio, and comic books. Perhaps Queen’s greatest contribution to detective fiction is as an anthologist (however fictional). Here is a rare copy of a latter-day anthology in large print. The copy, without DJ, is in good condition for an ex library book. The exterior is intact and the spine tight. The usual library artifacts are present but the book still presents well, and the interior is otherwise clean and unmarked with off-white pages, somewhat tanned at the edges. See photos for more details of condition.
