Sir Walter Scott was considered to be the inventor of the historical novel and the success of his Waverley series was immediate and long lasting throughout the English speaking world.<br> Set shortly after the English Civil War WOODSTOCK was inspired by the legend of the Good Devil of Woodstock which in 1649 supposedly tormented parliamentary commissioners who had taken possession of a royal residence at Woodstock Oxfordshire. The story deals with the escape of Charles II in 1652 during the Commonwealth and his final triumphant entry into London on 29 May 1660. David Hume's HISTORY OF ENGLAND gave Scott most of the historical background.<br> As with all the Waverley novels prior to 1827 WOODSTOCK was published anonymously.

Contemporary red morocco richly tooled in gilt and blind lettered in gilt 'Tales and stories' to upper board A.E.G. A trifle rubbed and marked. Internally clean and crisp. An attractively bound sammelband of sixteen diminutive chapbooks intended for a juvenile readership. The titles within all illustrated with crude yet charming wood-engravings include staples of the Victorian street literature market; compendious retellings of perennially popular nursery rhymes such as Cinderella Little Red Riding Hood and the Children in the Wood. An exception is a remarkably rare version of a recherché didactic verse curiosity The Waggon Load of Gold. Issued in two seemingly separately published parts; the work is comprised of a total of sixteen unassociated stanzas calculated to amuse the young reader and each - unusually for chapbook fare of the era - accompanied by illustrations which actually relate to the text; for example the opening couplets of the second part a celebration of the library is partnered with a depiction of a bookcase: 'The chief prize of the whole Here you now may behold 'Tis a library of choice books From the Waggon Load of Gold.' OCLC records a single copy of The Waggon Load of Gold. Part II. at Richmond Public Library Virginia Part I. is apparently unrecorded. The copy retains the original publisher's wrappers bearing the imprint 'London: Printed and published at 60 St. Martin's Lane' with the date recorded as '1820'. This would suggest that the other titles contained within this sammelband - all printed on similar paper stock and some reusing woodcut ornaments - where issued contemporaneously from the same location. .

199013681990. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Freas Frank Kelly. This listing is for a stapled typed manuscript copy of Mayhar's story which first appeared in Weird Tales Summer 1990.

19357180Minneapolis 1935. 7 typewritten pages with manuscript edits and 6 holograph pages recto only in pencil in Wandrei's hand. Light edge wear and a few smudges to the typed pages few corner bends and edge chips to the handwritten pages but generally very good. <br /> <br /> An interesting manuscript from Donald Wandrei of the Weird Tales Circle being an unfinished screenplay based on his story "The Monster from Nowhere." The tale was first published in Munsey's Argosy November 23 1935 and later was collected in The Eye and the Finger published by Arhkam House in 1944. <br /> <br /> <br /> This script consists of about a dozen scenes mostly detailing the shots scenery and characters with a bit of dialogue and lines for a narrator. The manuscript pages are quite descriptive especially in detailing the nightmarish scene where a dead body floats down the road propelled by an unseen force. This theme of existential horror and the blurring of real and unreal are typical of the Weird Tales genre and it is a shame this screenplay was neither finished nor produced. <br /> <br /> We find manuscript material from Wandrei to be quite scarce. An excellent item from the Lovecraft circle. . unknown
