Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sinister Street
Sinister Street was begun at 6 North Street, Westminster, in July 1912, but the writing of it was interrupted by dramatizing my novel Carnival, and then more seriously by my going to America in September to take part in the production of the play. On New Year's Day 1913 I was laid low by the acute sciatica which has been my companion at intervals ever since. In March I left America for Italy and started again on Sinister Street in Sorrento and Capri, but I came back to finish the first volume at Phillack in Cornwall. In order to get the book out that autumn the printers started setting it up before I had finished writing it. Indeed, I corrected the proofs of the last chapter at Brendons in Plymouth and was able to watch the presses start printing off the final sheets as soon as my corrections were made. That was at the beginning of August 1913, and the first volume was to be published on September Ist.
