Postal Service postmark of October 27, 1975. Frederic Dannay (1905-1982), with
his cousin, Manfred B. Lee (1905-1971), created the fictional
detective/author Ellery Queen for a writing contest in 1929. Their winning
entry, The Roman Hat Mystery, was published in June 1929. In 1941, the
cousins, who would sell over 100 million books worldwide, began publishing
"Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine", which today, along with "Alfred Hitchcock's
Mystery Magazine", is the world's longest-running short story mystery magazine.
Dannay also wrote the Drury Lane mystery series, which included The
Tragedy of X and The Tragedy of Y in 1932 and The Tragedy of Z
and Drury Lane's Last Case in 1933. Lightly soiled, jagged at top edge
from being opened, usual postal cancellations not near righting. Otherwise, fine
condition.
