The three novels contained herein, the authorship of which, in one way or another, was attributed to the fin-de-si cle stage-star Selina Dolaro (1849-1889), were in fact written by the English polymath Edward Heron-Allen (1861-1943), in the late 1880s, when he was sojouring in the United States.In The Princess Daphne the experiments of an American mesmerist and his dying lover cause havoc for a collective of struggling artists half a world away, in Notting Hill. In Bella-Demonia, a fast-paced tale of espionage during the Great Game, a disgraced British operative must contend with card sharps, femme fatales and the Russian secret police in order to regain his lost honour. And in the final entry, The Vengeance of Maurice Denalguez, cruelty and deception abound as a society beauty and an enigmatic nobleman make an innocent couple's marriage the battleground for their feuds.Recommended for those who enjoy the work of Arthur Conan Doyle and H.G. Wells, these three novels will delight fans of period fiction and weird tales alike.

For an instrument whose origins date back to the 16th Century, the stirring sound of the violin plays a huge part in music being composed and played this very moment. From classical to country, from jazz to rock and even rap, the violin has always been a popular choice for the versatile virtuoso. One of the millions of people who have drawn a bow across the strings of the violin was an English polymath, writer, scientist, and all-around fascinating man Edward Heron-Allen. His love of the violin led to a friendship with renowned violin maker Georges Chanot III, and to a lifelong obsession with crafting the perfect instrument. A true Renaissance man, Edward Heron-Allen published this tribute to his favorite musical instrument over 130 years ago and, like the violin, it's still an unrivaled classic.Whether you're a fresh-faced music student, a classically trained maestro, or if you simply enjoy fiddling along on the front porch, this guide offers: - An in-depth look at the history of the violin - A fascinating, and often surprising, discussion of the materials that make up the violin - A step-by-step guide to constructing your own violin - from selecting the materials to playing that very first note
