A copy of Henry Marriott Richardson's 'The Rock of Justice' arrives through the post - HMR was 2-great grandfather to Georgia and Nancy. There is no publication date but a publisher's announcement on the back refers to new books for spring, 1928.
The book is a typical detective/mystery novel of the period, well written in the style of the time - not surprisingly as HMR was a journalist by profession and he later went on to become a founder member of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) before being elected the Union's first paid General Secretary in 1918. Interestingly, one of the characters is named Mona, which was also the name of his then 17-year-old daughter.
Another nice family memento...
