Publisher
Manchester Guardian
Description
Court report of libel action brought by publisher Thomas Fisher Unwin against James Clarke & Co. over a circular containing Crockett's own statement describing Me and Myn, Limited as a light collection of stories on stamp collection, and not a full-dress novel. Unwin argued the statement prejudiced sales; defendants denied defamation. Testimony from Percy Clarke; jury verdict for defendants. Of publishing-history interest: reveals Crockett's ambiguous characterisation of the book and the simultaneous publication of Vida (Clarke's) and Me and Myn (Unwin's).
