Housed in a fleece-lined quarter green morocco over green cloth clamshell case. <br/><br/>"Charles Kingsley was a rural vicar in Victorian England and the "land-baby" of the sub-title was his youngest son five-year-old Grenville Arthur. In writing this fairy tale about the underwater adventures of Tom a chimney-sweep's climbing-boy Kingsley uttered many a sermon. But along with his zeal for Anglican Christianity he also brought into play his enthusiasm for nature and his strong sense of indignation at the Victorian practice of using small children as laborers. <br/><br/>The difference between the first and second states is solely the removal of the L'Envoi leaf. The first state "contains a leaf bearing a poem L'Envoi. Kingsley had second thoughts about this while the book was being printed and he had the leaf removed but not before a few hundred copies of the book had already gone forth."

194043221Fairfield: S.W.O.C. District No. 3 1940. First Edition. Mimeographed side-stapled sheets 11" x 8-1/2"; 6pp; printed recto-only. Text toned with chips to extremities; but of rust to staples; Good and sound. Ink signature of a "Dolph Mosley / Fairfield" to front cover. Report to the second annual convention of the S.W.O.C. documenting the union's successes in the southern states during its first year of existence and as well as union-busting activities which as might be imagined were rampant throughout the south during this period especially against a C.I.O.-affiliated union with a reputation for radicalism and a racial integration. A locus of anti-labor sentiment appears to have been the industrial community of Gadsden Alabama where the authors document numerous instances of direct threats against steelworkers including some that were racially motivated. Rare; as in our experience is most southern steelworkers material from this period. S.W.O.C. District No. 3 unknown books

1940300149Old Tymes 1940. fine. Very scarce A.L.S. 8vo. 1 page Old Tymes Connecticut November 11 1940 less than one year after the success of Oz and only one year before he would join the Canadian Navy during World War II in full: "Many thanks for your letter and the contracts. I do not see any objection to the terms there-in but UI would prefer to wait until the outcome of the Walm's deal with Hirsch is settled before I sign it. At the moment I am entirely on the hope that the option will expire on December 23rd with the play unproduced but I cannot lose sight of the fact that Hirsch may be able to promote a production". When Langley came out of the Canadian military following World War II he went to England and worked on several screenplays with luke-warm success. He became a United States citizen in 1961 and soon thereafter worked part-time as a drug counselor in California. Boldly signed and in excellent condition. From the archives of Samuel French & Son's.<br/><br/> LANGLEY Noel - 1911 - 1970 South African playwright best remembered as the 26 year old writer of the screenplay for the 1939 classic film The Wizard of Oz - and is one of the three credited screenwriters of the film. Langley literally ditched half of Frank Baum's book and added such important original concepts as the Ruby Red Slippers; instead of two good witches he amalgamated the Good Witch of the North with Glinda into one character. In Baum's book Dorothy encounters many threats to her safety - but in the screenplay Langley turned the wicked witch of the West into Dorothy's sole adversary. Most important he introduced to the story the inclusion of the actors playing the Tin Man Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion as farmhands and family in the sepia-tone Kansas sequence as well as introducing Miss Almira Gulch the Wicked Witch's counterpart. By doing this Langley created the continuity that bridged the characters as "real" people in Kansas to their roles in the Land of Oz; something that Baum could never perceive.<br/><br/> unknown books
