192419001TYPED LETTER SIGNED dated March 28th 1924 on RURAL PUBLISHING CORP. stationery to author and famous member of the Lovecraftian Circle Frank Belknap Long about 375 words stating that Long's story THE DESERT LICH has unfortuantely been delayed as it was decided that one man namely Edust-wrapper in Baird could not possibly have the time to be editor for WEIRD TALES DETECTIVE TALES and their new venture GHOST STORIES and thus he "will assume the editorial helm of WEIRD TALES & GHOST STORIES" that he has "read several thousand manuscripts when he was a reader for Baird and that he knows the thrill that comes of discovering a distinctively written story" that he "wishes to use DESERT LICH Long's accepted tale in the combination summer issue for June July & August which we are making triple size and putting out to clear the deck for the issuance of GHOST STORIES" "that their rates are not yet as high he would like them to be and that by summer he hopes we can pay on a pay on acceptance basis" and that "Our rates at present are one cent a word". He finishes with these plaudits for Lovecraft: "Please thank Mr. Lovecraft for me for turning THE DESET LlICH our way. And I want to thank you also for telling me of other Lovecraft stories that I have not yet seen. I would as soon think of changing a line or a word or a title of Mr. Lovecrat's work as I would rewriting an Edgar Allen Poe story. He is to my way of thinking the supreme master of weird tales whose mastery is not accidental but the result of careful and directed thought. So far I have seen Mr. Lovecraft's works only in print for I have not had the thrill of reading them in manuscript. I have not even read HYPNOS but I am looking forward to reading the page proofs of the May Weird Tales which contains the story. But those that I have read in the magazine-----THE HOUND THE RATS IN THE WALL DAGON----are marvels of writercraft." Letters from Wright the acknowledged foremost editor of Weird Tales are notoriously scarce and I know of none earlier. They rarely surface on the market place. Indeed letters with a full strong signature of Wright are rarer still as he was virtually unable to sign anything due to Parkinsons disease by 1930. So here's your chance to snatch a piece of history from one major player in the Golden Age of Science Fiction and Weird Tales specifically to another. The earliest letter I have seen by Farnsworth Wright. N.p. unknown
19270005609London: "The Children's Companion" Office 1927. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 4 colour plates plus numerous black-and-whites by H. KA. Robinson. Quarto unpaginated clothbacked pictorial paper over boards a trifle loose extremities rubbed inked name on endpaper. <br/><br/>4 colour plates plus numerous black-and-whites by H. KA. Robinson. A scarce tome. Stories on "The Fairy of Simple Joy" "The Smile of the Sea Princess" " The Magic Knitting" "The Brave Tin Soldier" & "The Little Mermaid". Robinson's artwork is quite colorful and appealing the cover art is softer and more pastel and I am guessing that Robinson was an in-house illustrator for The Children's Companion but I find no listing of him/her in the DICTIONARY OF 20TH CENTURY BRITISH ILLUSTRATORS.
