Born in London and educated at St. Alban's School he became in 1908 a proofreading assistant for OUP and quickly climbed to the position of editor. Among his contributions to the press was the first English language edition of the works of the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. Along with J. R. R. Tolkien he was a member of 'The Inklings' a literary society founded by C. S. Lewis which encouraged the writing of fantasy works. It was during this time that he heard Tolkien read the group early drafts of what would later become The Lord of the Rings and Williams would later write his most famous work 'All Hallows Eve' after encouragement from his peers. It was published in 1945 with an introduction by T. S. Eliot. Although 'Shadows of Ecstacy' was referred to by T. S. Eliot as one of Williams's seven 'supernatural thrillers' published between 1930 and 1945 it was one of the first books Williams had written as far back as 1926. By the time it was published four other novels had appeared and it was re-written significantly in 1932. The plot focuses on Nigel Considine an occult leader who has discovered the power of significantly extending his life. Living in Africa he uses African lore to die and resurrect his own body before leading a revolutionary group to invade Europe united in a fanatic crusade against death. A fantastic work of abstract mythical fantasy scarce in the wrapper. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.</p> Victor Gollancz Ltd., London hardcover

199425305ESan Francisco CA: Privately Published by Robin Williams 1994. First Edition. Original privately printed 123 page shooting script for the Robin Williams film Jumanji written by Jonathan Hensleigh Greg Taylor and Jim Strain based on the children’s picture book by Chris Van Allsburg.

Unbeknownst to the many admirers of Robin Williams was that he was a lover of books. Over the years Williams had his own private press specially printing on fine papers and handsomely binding editions of the screenplays of some of the films he appeared in. They were all printed in very small quantities. Williams would sign them and then they would be sent to members of the cast and crew of the productions. As a unique item this is a special opportunity to honor and celebrate Williams’s love of his craft his love of books and his appreciation of the people who helped to bring his films to life. Jumanji was directed by Joe Johnston starring Robin Williams Kirsten Dunst Bonnie Hunt Bradley Pierce Bebe Neuwirth Adam Hann-Byrd David Alan Grier and Patricia Clarkson. Jumanji tells the story of how a board game falls into the hands of a curious teen Hann-Byrd in 1969 and strands him in the lush savage forests of a mythical realm. Nearly three decades later the game releases him as an adult Williams before the eyes of a pair of young orphaned siblings Dunst and Pierce at which point the game takes another dangerous turn.

It was also an eccentric mom-and-pop operation put together with love sophistication and a fair amount of attitude as well as Ruth's money. Her family owned Walgreen's.'"
