Faber and Faber Ltd, Queen Square, London - first edition ISBN:057119401X, 2000. hardcover, 6¼" x 9½", with dust jacket. AS NEW book in AS NEW unclipped dust jacket. Thomas Griffiths Wainewright inherited a handsome family home in 1828, and successive legacies allowed him to maintain a flamboyant lifestyle. Within a few years, three of his relatives died in suspicious circumstances. This book strips away the layers of legend and restores Wainewright to his own voice, capturing his dandified, high-energy style, his charm as well as his callousness, his wit as well as his wantonness - and his notorious, deadly unreliability.
