Two suspenseful best-sellers by novelist Dorothy Eden: The Salamanca Drum (1977) and An Important Family (1982) Dorothy Eden was a proficient author of gothic-historic romances, aka "Young Women With Long Hair Running Away from Spooky Houses in Nightgowns." Her books were very popular the latter half of the 20th century; in 1980 she was described as one of the 10 best-selling novelists in the world. The heroine in The Salamanca Drum was born to one of Britain's military families and dreamed of glory. Instead she was forced into a loveless marriage and in the years that followed, the Salamanca Drum became her symbol of courage. The saga of an aristocratic English family pioneering in New Zealand and the secret that haunts them is the backdrop to An Important Family. Hardback books by Dorothy Eden are getting harder and harder to find. Fans of Mary Stewart, Victoria Holt, Vincent Virga, Phyllis Whitney and Daphne du Maurier will want to add these two books to their home libraries. Books are in good condition with minimal tears, folds or creases and spines are intact. No missing pages and dust jackets are included.
