192866169London: Arrosmith 1928. First edition. PResumed first printing. Hardcover. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Ink note on half-title. Pencil erasure inside rear board. Includes: illustrations index. Endpaper maps; Midway between Greece and Egypt on the direct sea route from Athens to Alexandris lie the twelve islands called the Dodecanese. Their Greek populationa and Italian political status bind them to continental Europe rather than to Asia Minor. Perhaps the most famous of these islands is Rhodes. This work addresses concerns that the status of these islands should be resolved and makes a case for transferance from Italian political control to that of Greece since the majority of the population was of Greek origin and appeared to desire this political affiliation.

Original blue patterned boards black-stamped spine title panel lettered in gilt gilt-stamped facsimile signature to upper board. Extremities bruised. Inscribed in blue biro to white note paper pasted to ffep: "Teresa Fitzpatrick With all good wishes from Ann Bridge" brief one-page typed letter on blue airmail paper 08.05.19710 addressed to Teresa and signed "& in haste Mary O'Malley" stapled to verso of ffep. Thumbed else clean. In the original dust jacket: some creasing edgewear and nicking. Very good/ very good A pleasing association copy of Bridge's account of the numerous moments of "inexplicable 'knowings'" featuring a TLS to her "dear friend" the Atlantic Monthly's circulating manager Teresa Fitzpatrick expressing sympathy for her "nervous prostration" possibly from Dexamyl. It seems likely that the Anglo-American novelist Ann Bridge pseud. of Lady Mary O'Malley 1889-1974 met Teresa Fitzgerald "the short energetic woman who presided over the Atlantic's circulation department" when Bridge's first novel Peking Picnic 1932 won the magazine's $10 000 prize. Fitzgerald is perhaps best remembered for her role in investigating and helping resolve the 1928 Lincoln love letters scam in which the Atlantic Monthly and Ellery Sedgwick were embroiled.</p> McGraw-Hill Book Company hardcover

1939793L42London: Chatto and Windus 1939. Fine Binding. Near Fine. 8.5" by 5.5". None. A smartly bound early edition of Ann Bridge's novel 'Four-Part Setting'. From the library of socialite and patron of the arts Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie. Printed a year after the true first edition.Ann Bridge is the pseudonym of Mary Ann Dolling Lady O'Malley. She is also known as Cottie Sanders. Her novels are mostly based on her own experiences of living in foreign countries. This novel is set 'in the China of a decade ago; it bears no relation to the conditions existing today' Note to the start of the book. From the library of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie Audrey Evelyn James Coats and Audrey Evelyn James Field at Julian"s Park. Pleydell-Bouverie was the youngest daughter of an Anglo-American lumber and steel millionaire. Audrey was also alleged to be the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII although she was also rumoured to be his daugher or the lover of King Edward VIII. She bought Julians Park in 1940 following her third marriage to the Hon Peter Pleydell-Bouverie. Her circle of friends included Winston Churchill Coco Chanel and Nancy Mitford. She was featured in Cecil Beaton's 'Book of Beauty' and was regarded as one of the Bright Young Things.Audrey was a patron of the arts and it is believed that she bound several books herself as many books from her library were stamped with her name and she owned a group of bookbinding tools. This book is bound in a similar style to other works from her library that contained the binder's stamp 'Audrey Field' to the front pastedown. This book does not bear such a stamp.
