A photograph of the signing event is also loosely laid in as provenance. Rendell had already written two unpublished crime novels when 'From Doon with Death' was picked up by the publishers John Long and published in 1964. It was the first to feature her protagonist Chief Inspector Reginald Wexford who would later appear in numerous more works all the way up until No Man's Nightingale 2013 published just two years before her death. This book was her first standalone work and centres around Patrick Selby who dies from a series of stings from wasps which have infested his immaculate garden and on the very night of his beautiful wife's birthday party. With a series of possible subjects Rendell takes as her protagonist Doctor Greenleaf a reluctantly turned detective who investigates the murder - with a classic Christie-style twist at the end. "After all wasps aren't the only creatures that kill with poison." The title is taken directly from Macbeth: "Tis the eye of childhood / That fears a painted devil". A lovely signed copy of the author's first standalone novel. Scarce with such attributes. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.</p> John Long, London hardcover

However our favorite poem is "Puff-Puff" an elegy for her dearly departed pet written when she was about 13. The first stanza: "Can it be true that you are dead / And never more will scratch / In new-made garden flower bed / Or early onion patch / My little bantam rooster"<br /> <br /> A charming collection of rather accomplished poems by a young female scholar.

The Ruth Cohn Institute for TCI International is today headquartered in Basel. Cohn left Germany in 1933 and as a German Jew lost her German citizenship in 1936. Cohn immigrated to the U.S. in 1941 and returned to Europe Switzerland in 1974. She writes in the introductory letter to this volume: "T.C.I. germinated in my experience of the Nazi holocaust and its apathetic surroundings. I longed as a student of psychoanalysis for therapeutic ways which would not limit progress in awareness and communication to patients and some eager students but would spread to the population at large - so 'it would never happen again.'" The book contains four sections: The Theme-Centered Interactional Approach; Group Psychotherapy; Psychotherapy; and Personal Reflections. An important collection of psychological work with a lovely association. OCLC locates no copies nor does it seem to locate any English-language monographs published by Cohn. The author unknown

Upon winning the Oscar and BAFTA at the age of 89 Ivory became the oldest-ever winner in any category for both awards. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala CBE 7 May 1927 - 3 April 2013 was a German-born British and American Booker prize-winning novelist short story writer and two-time Academy Award-winning screenwriter. She is perhaps best known for her long collaboration with Merchant Ivory Productions made up of director James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant.

Jhabvala began then to elaborate her experiences in India and wrote novels and tales on Indian subjects.

John Swope August 23 1908 - May 11 1979 was a photographer for Life and a commercial pilot who trained United States Army Air Force pilots during World War II. His interest in photography began when he brought a camera to a yacht race from Los Angeles to Hawaii in 1936. Together with Leland Hayward and John H. Connelly he co-founded Southwest Airways no connection to the present day Southwest Airlines a company that developed the Thunderbird Fields which trained thousands of military pilots during the Second World War. He was married to actress Dorothy McGuire in 1943 until his death on May 11 1979. This book is a film maker's response in print and not on celluloid to what is called Royal India--land of Maharajas. It contains the overflow from the author's films in which Royal India appears. It is a collection of photographs anecdotes and other items which the author believes are worth saving. When India became independent in 1947 the princeses were guaranteed their titles properties and certain privileges. But more and more their special status came to be seen as an anachronism and it has now been legally abolished. For the princes it was like the French Revolution except that none of them went to the guillotine; they merely became private citizens. Many of these former rulers are still doing very well.
