28473Prolific and influential American poet and editor whose first volume of poetry was "The Human Fantasy" 1911. AQS 1p 8½" X 11" n.p. 1972 March 21. Near fine. Light original mailing folds. Titled "for Billy Doris Queenie Donna June and John" this is an original probably one-of-a-kind quatrain written especially for a small class of disabled school children thanking them in verse: "Thank you for your message and / The thank-you picture made by hand / Thank you each and every one -- / I hope you have a lot of fun." Somewhat tremulous but bold easily legible and attractive. A charming example of the vintage versifier's graciousness. unknown
41550American author of girls tales and poems whose first book was published in 1859 "Mother Goose for Grown Folks" and last book in 1900 "The Integreity of Christian Science". AQS 1p 7" X 9" n.p. n.y. Very good. Faint vertical show-through along leftmost 1" from mounting traces on verso with ¼" paper loss near upper left corner not affecting text. On lined paper running vertically strangely Whitney boldly pens her three-stanza poem "A Violet" first published in her 1872 poetry collection "Pansies" and signs in full at the conclusion. Opens with "God does not send us strange flowers every year. / When the spring winds blow o'er the pleasant places / The same dear things lift up the same fair faces. / The violet is here." An unusually lengthy example -- Whitney usually penned short sentiments only or single verse lines for admirers not full poems. unknown

18118Hardcover. Popular American novelist whose works include "The Whirligig of Time" 1916 "Family" 1923 "The Seafarers" 1924 and "I the King: The Story of a Rich Young Man" 1924. Superb trio of items: First an ANS 1p 5¼" X 6 3/4" New Haven CT 1923 March 26. Addressed to Professor Albert Johannsen author of "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" University of Oklahoma Press 1950 the definitive reference work and bibliography on the subject. Near fine. "In answer to your request" writes Williams "I enclose a page from the MS of my novel 'Goshen Street.' It must have been written in the summer of 1919." Bold full signature. Second the aforementioned manuscript page an unsigned AM 1p 8½" X 11" n.p. n.y. Near fine. Full holograph leaf in pencil and marked as page 294 from this novel published by Frederic A. Stokes Company in New York in 1920. Williams' script is as usual hurried by fairly legible. Also present is Johannsen's original 8½" X 11" file folder bearing a printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label partly filled in by Johannsen. Third and last -- but certainly not least is an inscribed first edition of "Goshen Street." Small 8vo. Brown cloth. 323pp. Very good. Slight bit of edgewear and bumped corners but tight and attractive overall. Delightfully this is Williams' personal copy of his book bearing his handsome custom bookplate on the front pastedown. Opposite this on the front flyleaf he inscribes it boldly and whimsically -- to himself! "W.W. Williams / from / The Author. / Harding Day 1920. / On this day W.L. Phelps talked / of this book in his public lecture / and this copy was used by him / in reviewing the work for the N.Y. / Times Sunday Oct. 31." Phelps 1865-1943 was an English professor at Yale University 1892-1933 and a popular and influential literary critic essayist and lecturer. Do you call it an "association copy" when the author inscribes it to himself Why Phelps would be using Williams' personal copy of "Goshen Street" as his review copy or how Williams ended up Phelps' review copy is a mystery -- though the fact that Williams and Phelps both lived in New Haven probably had something to do with it! An incredibly unusual and handsome trio. hardcover
