First edition.This is the first London bibliography to concentrate solely on the author's fiction-his most important and and lasting work; it is the first full-lenght annotated London bibliography; it is the first to list unpublished plays and their productions that were drawn from certain of the author's fictional works, and to cite the fees the author received for certain of the author's fictional works, thereby giving a fuller view of his extraordinary popularity in the first years of the twentieth century; and, because of its annotate format, this work is the first to attempt to cite important critical sources of discussion on key fictional works by the author.

From beloved bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford comes the enthralling saga of three generations of extraordinary women?of the fate that befalls them, and the choices that define their lives? IN THE NAME OF LOVE. Orphaned after the death of her mother, well-bred Audra Kenton rose from selfless nurse to servant of an affluent suffragette, to a fiercely independent bride whose passionate marriage was overtaken by an unforeseeable tragedy. Now Audra has but one dream?to bestow upon her brilliantly artistic daughter, every opportunity that she was denied? AT THE HEART OF AMBITION. Given the world, the stubborn Christina has forsaken the wishes of her noble mother to forge the career of her choice?that of a glittering Manhattan fashion empire she hopes to bequeath to her own daughter. But in young and beautiful Kyle stirs a spirit that is inherently headstrong, equally independent, and just as ironically resistant to the sacrifices made in the name of love. FOR THE SAKE OF A DREAM. From the picturesque Yorkshire Dales to the haute couture luxuries of Paris and London to the bittersweet respite of home and family, three women face stunning betrayals and astonishing reversals of fate as each brings her own intimate struggle to their need of personal success and to a triumphant and heartening understanding of devotion, duty, and destiny., Doubleday & Company, 1986, 2.5, Berkley Pub.

To sweet Honoria Newcombe, the news that she was a burden to her maiden aunts came as a shock. On Prudence? On Mercy? Indeed, they had always been a trifle eccentric in their housekeeping, but they had raised Honoria ever since she was orphaned, and never once had she been denied a thing. Still, she could not argue with the evidence of her own ears, and Honoria resolved at once to relieve her beloved aunts of the financial strain she had unwittingly become. And yet, how to do so? Rural Regency England, alas, offered by few alternatives for a young lady of quality determined to leave the home of her childhood. Honoria flies straightway to the side of her friend Emily Blackwood to confer upon the matter. Emily, a talented and ambitious artist, rejects out of hand Honoria's feeble suggestion that she can earn her keep as a governess, or lady's companion: who on earth would hire so gentle and fragile a lady? Very well then, if employment is out of the question, Honoria's only hope is marriage. But marriage to whom? "Claude Kemp," Honoria answers bravely. "Never," asserts Emily. Claude might be a gentleman, but he is arrogant and unkind and Emily will simply not hear of it. If Honoria must marry, let her marry Alexander, Emily's own brother. This begins a comedy of errors so involved that nearly a year is required to unravel its tangled intricacies. Our heroine starts her life at Sweet's Folly (the Blackwood family home) with a certain amount of hope. Hope which rapidly changes to skepticism, to bewilderment, to despair, to astonishment, and at last to supreme happiness. In the interim, she must learn to deal with the machinations of the frustrated Claude Kemp, and with the hilarious antics of her unworldly aunts. And, when a stroke of great good fortune sends Emily, and Alexander and Honoria to London, there is also a most extraordinary transformation to be reckoned with: shy, scholarly Alexander has become a perfect devil with the ladies! ., Berkley Pub.
