Book and wrapper in great condition - Very scarce - 455 pg. >>> Gripping novels often create suspense by making the stakes very high: life-or-death struggles, violence or destruction on a global scale. _The Channings_ generates similar tension from much smaller stakes: someone has spilled ink on a choirboy's gown, 20 pounds are missing, and a young man burns a candle in his room half the night for reasons he refuses to reveal. In the English cathedral town of Helstonleigh, such enigmas loom large, and Mrs. Henry Wood shows how such seemingly small mysteries can change the fates of entire families -- and how the suspense of such mysteries can keep the reader turning the pages. >>> About the Publisher and series - The Doughty Library was named after Doughty Street in London, where Blonds publishing company was located - The series focused on British and American Victorian novels and reached at least 13 titles.
