Lamb says in his preface that he "wished to make these Tales easy reading for young children.for young ladies too it has been my intention chiefly to wrote because boys are generally permitted the use of their fathers' libraries at a much earlier age than girls are they frequently have the best of Shakespear by heart before their sisters are permitted to look into this manly book";<br /> <br> <br /> <br> <br /> Hugh Walpole was a best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s with a large and varied output. Between 1909 and 1941 he wrote thirty-six novels five volumes of short stories two original plays and three volumes of memoirs. His range included disturbing studies of the macabre children's stories and historical fiction most notably his Herries Chronicle series set in the Lake District. He worked in Hollywood writing scenarios for two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films in the 1930s and played a cameo in the 1935 version of David Copperfield. As a gay man at a time when homosexual practices were illegal for men in Britain Walpole conducted a succession of intense but discreet relationships with other men and was for much of his life in search of what he saw as "the perfect friend". He eventually found one a married policeman with whom he settled in the English Lake District. Having as a young man eagerly sought the support of established authors he was in his later years a generous sponsor of many younger writers. He was a patron of the visual arts and bequeathed a substantial legacy of paintings to the Tate Gallery and other British institutions. wikipedia. 1302843. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. M. J.

17801106731780. London: Harrison and co. 1780-81. <br /> <br /> Single plate 10 x 7.5 ins. Browned and foxed.<br /> <br /> § First edition thus issued originally in parts and perhaps thus of great rarity. The last copy to change hands was in 1993 when Essick bought his copy; he has not recorded another copy in the marketplace since. That rarity is born out by ESTC which records 4 copies in all two at the BL seriously imperfect one in Oxford Queen's College and one in North America Bentley Blake Collection at Victoria University. It is noteworthy for the profusion of illustrations from classical sources and in the five plates engraved by Blake he shows his knowledge of the work of Rubens and Raphael most likely from reproductions in earlier illustrated books.

19171251211917. London: Richard C. Jackson 1917. <br /> <br /> 4to 2 half-title frontispiece Blake portrait 16. Very good with slight wear to board covers and corners. The dedicatee's copy signed Mackenzie Bell 29th July 1920.<br /> <br /> § A facsimile produced for the "William Blake Society of Arts and Letters" in a limited edition of 100 copies plus 10 proofs by Richard C. Jackson to commemorate the 160th anniversary of Blake's birth. The facsimile claims to be the first edition of "Little Tom" in moveable type and reproduces Blake's two main designs in different colours - Little Tom on the boat in blue and with his mother in a rather pallid yellow. The title is in red and black. The book is printed on "Queen of Scots" hand-made paper and sewn into quarter cream buckram bound gray paper covered boards with a decorated and printed label in buckram mounted to the cover. Jackson was the founder of the Blake Society of Arts and Letters in 1901 and still President in 1917. The edition has a dedication page to Mackenzie Bell a poet and past Vice-President of the Society and this was apparently his own copy being signed by him on the front end paper. Bentley BB 470 E . Bentley refers to Jackson as being "mendacious" but gives no reason. Jackson does however defame and possibly libel Gilchrist in the colophon at the end of this facsimile so this is perhaps symptomatic. However the facsimile is certainly an impressive and attractive one. unknown
