As
most of you know, Andy and I are presently gallivanting around England and
Scotland. But I didn't want the blog to go all ominously silent for our whole
trip, and I wanted to continue to share my excitement about the nine Furrowed
Middlebrow books newly released from Dean Street Press. (As I mentioned in my last post, don't be alarmed if it takes longer than usual for comments to appear, as I will only be able to moderate occasionally while travelling.)
I
admit I was running out of time to do everything I would have liked to do, as
we made our final preparations for our trip (and as my pesky day job was a bit
rushed and crazy as well). So preparing several in-depth blog posts in advance
just wasn't happening. But I had been overwhelmed by all the wonderful full
cover images that Rupert from Dean Street had been sending me (I love seeing
the whole wraparound covers, rather than just the front, which always slightly
resembles a mug shot). So I thought perhaps some of you would enjoy seeing them
all almost as much as I have.
Without
further ado, then, here are all of the Furrowed Middlebrow covers, as well as
the full covers for the two additional Winifred Peck mysteries published by
Dean Street Press. At the bottom of the post, not so much out of shameless
self-promotion (though there is admittedly a bit of that as well) as because
several people had asked for detailed information about ordering, I am again
including the information from last post—a list of all the books, with the
titles linking to my original reviews of them, alongside links to their product
pages on Amazon US and Amazon UK.
But
for now, it's the covers that are front and center:
 |
| FM1 - Rachel Ferguson, A Footman for the Peacock (1940) |
 |
| FM2 - Rachel Ferguson, Evenfield (1942) |
 |
| FM3 - Rachel Ferguson, A Harp in Lowndes Square (1936) |
 |
| FM4 - Frances Faviell, A Chelsea Concerto (1959) |
 |
| FM5 - Frances Faviell, The Dancing Bear (1954) |
 |
| FM6 - Frances Faviell, A House on the Rhine (1955) |
 |
| FM7 - Frances Faviell, Thalia (1957) |
 |
| FM8 - Frances Faviell, The Fledgeling (1958) |
 |
| FM9 - Winifred Peck, Bewildering Cares (1940) |
And the two additional mysteries from Dean Street Press:
 |
| Winifred Peck, The Warrielaw Jewel (1933) |
 |
| Winifred Peck, Arrest the Bishop? (1949) |
Note: You can easily find all nine of the Furrowed Middlebrow books by simply searching "Furrowed Middlebrow" on Amazon.

I was lucky enough to get a couple of these to review - but have also just gone and bought the other Rachel Fergusons too!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading Chelsea Concerto. Very well written, but also something I can't read just before bedtime! But great to have it available. I think Bewildering Cares will be my next purchase. Love the full covers! Also, thanks Scott for mentioning the free ebook of the week from Dean Street, I picked up a free copy of the Molly Thynne mystery He Dies and Makes No Sign, which sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteHope you and Andy are having a LOT of fun!!

I have finished A Chelsea Concerto, a wonderfully evocative book, and moved on to The Dancing Bear. Very hard reading for me as my closest friend, her little brother, mother and grandmother, fled before the advancing Russians and this is an all too vivid account of what might have befallen them. But so worth reading.
ReplyDeleteBoth books are a cogent reminder of the horrors that mankind is capable of unleashing. We don't seem to have learned a single thing.
On Saturday I received Chelsea Concerto and the Footman for the Peacock which I had preordered from Amazon and I am so glad to have them at last! They are nicely bound and presented, and I cant wait to get started reading. Thanks for persevering!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and I'm looking forward to reading them - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThe covers are so beautiful! Tied together by the frames but very individual in the cover images, and a unique look at the moment, which is always a good thing!
ReplyDeleteScott, these look delicious! Thanks so much for your endeavors.
ReplyDeleteThe cover designs are striking and hold nostalgia and connect the genre, love them.
