Product Description
by Charles Dickens (Author)
John Jasper, a choirmaster and opium addict at Cloisterham Cathedral, lusts after his pupil, Rosa Bud, who is engaged to his nephew, Edwin Drood. Rosa has also caught the eye of the high-spirited and hot-tempered Neville Landless. Landless quickly becomes Drood's hated rival for Rosa's affections. When Edwin disappears, Jasper accuses Neville of killing him, deepening the mystery of Edwin's disappearance.
The Mystery of Edwin Drood is Charles Dickens' final novel. The story ends abruptly because Dickens died before he could finish the book. Only six of a planned twelve instalments had been finished. He left no detailed plan for the remaining instalments or solution to the novel's mystery, and many later adaptations and continuations by other writers have attempted to complete the story.
This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian-inspired dust jacket.
