Description: The Oxford Book of Villains by John Mortimer, 1992 Oxford University Press hardcover with dust jacket, Very Good condition. The world may be short of many things, writes John Mortimer in the introduction to this marvelous volume, rain forests, great politicians, black rhinos, saints, and caviar, but the supply of villains is endless. They are everywhere, down narrow streets and in brightly lit office buildings and parliaments, dominating family life, crowding prisons and law courts, and providing plots formost of the works of fiction that have been composed since the dawn of history. Now, in the ultimate rogue’s gallery, Mortimer (best known as the author of Rumpole of the Bailey) has captured an arresting collection of crooks, murderers, seducers, con men, traitors, and tyrants—the world’s greatest villains, both fictional and real. Book has blue boards with gilt lettering on cover and spine, mottling and a black mark on top edge, price sticker on front endpaper, and a purple “B” stamped on the back pastedown. Dust jacket shows light wear with original price sticker remains on the back and is protected.
