Fryn (properly Friniwyd) Tennyson Jesse (1889-1958), English novelist and dramatist, was also editor of several volumes in Hodges' 'Notable British Trials' series. A great-niece of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, she began her career as a painter but diversified into journalism during WWI, after which she was appointed to Hoover's Relief Commission for Europe. In 1918 she married the dramatist H M Harwood with whom she co-authored a number of light plays. During WWII she wrote two highly successful collections of letters - 'London Front' (1940) and 'While London Burns' (1942) - both now much sought after as appraisals of the early Home Front and the London Blitz; her Cornish novels (among them 'The White Riband' (1921) and 'Moonraker' (1927)) are also collected. Her interest in true crime began with her novel 'A Pin to See a Peepshow' (1934; later a successful play) based on the Thompson-Bywaters case. Her Notable British Trials volumes include the cases of Madeleine Smith, Timothy Evans and John Christie.

Due contadini, mentre lavoravano in un podere, vedevano un aereo piombare verso di loro, poi strisciare e abbattersi sul terreno. Dall'apparecchio fracassato - un Mig 17 di fabbricazione sovietica - usciva il pilota ferito al capo e al braccio sinistro. Costui, identificato poi per l'uffucuale bulgaro Milusc Solokov, veniva portato all'ospedale e piantonato nel suo letto.
