The Queen was in her Parlour is an early Noel Coward play written in 1922 but not produced until the 24th August 1926 when it premiered at the St Martin's Theatre in London. It was well received with an article in The Times claiming "This is Mr. Coward in a romantic vein and little else matters so long as the romance goes with a swing. This it does indeed." The play went on to run for 136 performances. The play was Coward s first and only foray into the theme of Ruritanian romance being set in a fictional European country. Later he wrote that Ruritania is a dangerous country where romantic clichés lurk in every throne-room.The whole play was illuminated by the magic of Madge Titheradge's acting. Her restrained emotion in the farewell supper scene . and her stillness and dignity at the end of the play I shall always remember with loving gratitude. The play was Coward's eighth and one of a series of comedies in his early career which included such others as Easy Virtue Fallen Angels Hay Fever This Was A Man Home Chat and The Marquise. Each of these had in common the impact of Continentalism on the stolid conservatism of Old England. Long and often very delightful passages of mutual abuse were to be found in the majority of these plays which were also masterpieces of padded wisecracking. Time Magazine.

Two parts bound in one. 5" x 8" Although Le Spectacle de la Nature was occasionally used as a natural science textbook in its time Pluche's primary purpose in his eight volume work was to encourage young people to be excited and curious about the world around them. As the preface states Pluche writes "with the View of making young Persons sensible what Treasures they possess unenjoyed and to present to their Observation those things that Distance Minuteness or Inattention may have concealed from them" v. Written as a dialogue between four fictional characters the book follows the young Chevalier du Breuil as he visits his friends in the country. During their walks they discuss what they see which in this volume includes insects birds terrestrial animals fishes and plants. The conversations are not too technical; as Pluche says "we have endeavoured to exclude from the work whatever might seem disagreeable; and instead of a methodical Discourse or a Chain of Dissertations that frequently satiate and disgust we have chosen the Style of Dialogue as most natural and proper to engage all sorts of Readers" ix. A delightful mix of a natural history lesson with a lively chat with friends this work welcomes you into wonder crafting a lens of curiosity through which to see the world right outside your door. <br /> <br /> <br /> Kennedy Dictionary of Anonymous and Pseudonymous English Literature 340.
