Q's Historical Legacy The Short Stories Volume 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780244036690)

Now surpassed in fame as a writer by his daughter's best friend, Daphne du Maurier, Arthur Quiller-Couch was the pre-eminent Cornish writer of Victorian and Edwardian times and founder of the school of English Literature at Cambridge University. He is of particular interest since his fiction was very often based on factual events which have now passed from memory. This volume, the first in a series, contains three of his best known stories which recount the: -, - Arrest and detention of Captain Bligh on the Helford River; - Ghostly consequences of the tragic wreck of the HMS Primrose in 1805 and, - Tale of the last military siege in England.
