{"product_id":"blackkerchief-dick-9798880925827","title":"Blackkerchief Dick","description":"Before she became a queen of crime fiction, Margery Allingham wrote this haunting, high-seas adventure--a tale of smugglers, spirits, and one enigmatic sailor bound to the sea and something darker. Step into the salty air of 17th-century England, where legends are born in the creak of ship timbers and the whisper of sea winds. Blackkerchief Dick is a swashbuckling, supernatural-tinged tale set on Mersea Island, blending ghost story, historical adventure, and poetic myth. At its heart is Dick, a mysterious sailor with a black kerchief knotted at his throat, whose fate becomes entangled with smugglers, spirits, and a community haunted by its own past. With lyrical prose and vivid imagery, Margery Allingham, later renowned for her crime fiction, weaves a spellbinding debut full of maritime mystery and folk legend. For fans of classic tales with a supernatural edge, this lost gem is a voyage worth taking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Start Publishing Pd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798880925827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Margery Allingham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604465348789,"sku":"9798880925827","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/blackkerchief-dick-9798880925827","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
