19693022London: Victor Gollancz 1969. Cloth. Near Fine. FIRST EDITION with TLS & POSTCARD LAID IN. 8vo. Original red cloth spine lettered in gilt. Top edge spotted. A little musty else clean and tight. One-page TLS on white A4 paper 29. April 1981 addressed "Dearest John" with Lucas's Swan Cottage Rackham letterhead printed in black and signed "Love as ever Bar" and two-sided hand-written postcard 12 Jan. 85 in blue biro and again to "Dearest John" laid in. In the Alan Breese-designed illustrated dust jacket printed in olive black and pink: spine sunned a little rubbed and creased at edges. Near fine/ very good A lovely bright copy of the English Catholic intellectual and writer Barbara Lucas' sixth novel "a very 1969 romance; with a very 1969 hero and heroine" with affectionate later correspondence addressed to "Dearest John" laid in. Barbara Wall 1911–2009 who wrote under her maiden name Lucas was like her husband Bernard and her grandparents before her a Catholic intellectual: she was the granddaughter of Wilfrid and Alice Meynell as well as the niece of Punch editor E. V. Lucas. With her husband she founded the Catholic Worker newspaper in Britain and was "active in organizations linked to Catholic peace traditions". Three years after this novel was published in 1972 she was awarded the Benemerenti Medal for her work for peace. She was also a translator of French and wrote a biography of Rene Hague. According to the PO Lucas' addressee was John Vernon a former MI5 agent and international civil servant with NATO who had served with 'D' Section General Intelligence of the Psychological Warfare Branch PWB in Italy during WWII. This seems credible and certainly fits with both the mention of his wife Susanna the pioneer conference interpreter in Lucas' correspondence as well as mutual friends alive and deceased including Esmé and Mondi Howard and Muriel Grindrod. Gabriel formerly Wall and her husband Bernard Bergonzi are also mentioned including news of her death shortly after Christmas day 1984. The Bernard and Barbara Wall Papers are held by the Booth Family Center for Special Collections Georgetown University Washington. The Private Papers of Major J A B Vernon OBE are held by the Imperial War Museum London. Victor Gollancz hardcover
