Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
