A presentation copy with signed inscription by Lamb on the half title page: "To Frank and Melba Bennett -- / Who have made so / many Christmases merry / Harold Lamb / This Christmas 1940." Beginning in 1932 the Bennetts and Mr and Mrs. Philip L. Boyd owned the Deep Well Guest Ranch in Palm Springs California. "Perhaps it wasn't strictly a 'dude ranch' but Deep Well Ranch delivered a strong dose of Western-flavored adventure for those who stayed there. In its heyday the Ranch was a 'labor of love' for Frank and Melba Bennett. Both were Southern Californians Melba being a sixth-generation Californian who came from a family who raised some of the most prized trotting horses in the country. Horses were her passion and activities for her guests were carefully planned around horseback riding and evening sitting around the camp fire. As time went on the Ranch became a spot where the famous nearly famous and just regular tourists came together to experience a Western-style adventure in the desert. Activities at the Ranch also included swimming and sunbathing around the pool. During the Great Depression industrialists and other notable entrepreneurs came to the desert looking for fun in the sunshine and the Ranch amply provided the rich Western atmosphere portrayed primarily in cowboy films made in Hollywood and in the Palm Springs area that they craved." - Robert Louis Semes with Doree Goldstein and Mimi Fisher "Ride 'em Cowboy: The Fascinating History of Deep Well Ranch." A clean nearly fine copy in very good pictorial dust jacket with wear along top and bottom edges and several closed tears. #155745 Doubleday unknown books

1840022442London: Bradbury & Evans for Edward Moxon 1840. Octavo. 4 71. Printed in double columns. They first gained success as their "Tales of Shakespeare" were issued in the first quarter of the 19th century. When Charles Lamb 1775-1834 and his unfortunate sister Mary 1764-1847 moved from one undesirable lodging to another William Godwin suggested they contribute to his "Juvenile Library". Their first work was the Tales of Shakespeare with Charles doing the tragedies and Mary taking the comedies. Then they came across the philosophy of Mrs. Leicester's School which counter the patronizing morality of most children's writers and finding a reality of children's lives even when they faced hardships and unfair suffering. They prepared; The Adventures of Ulysses which became one of the favorites for small children. Edward Moxon 1808-1858 desired to publish them and Mary wrote seven of the stories with children having written three. The seven girls whose stories are told are: Elizabeth Villiers Louisa Manners Ann Withers Elinoir Forester Margaret Green Emily Barton Maria Howe Charlotte Wilmot Susan Yates and Arabella Hardy. Those with an asterisks are by Charles Lamb the others are by Mary. Since Mary was often deeply emotionally troubled the stories she wrote caused her deep emotional pain. The 1840 was the nicest edition of the Ulysses tradition by Moxon. Moxon was called the dedicated publisher of the poets from Wordsworth Leigh Hunt and to Tennyson. Bound in a contemporary cloth backed boards with original morocco label on spine only light wear to spine ends and corners. A very nice copy. Bradbury & Evans for Edward Moxon unknown books

73786Five autograph letters signed by Lady Louisa Lamb 1849-1927 of Beauport Sussex to publisher William Tinsley concerning her little-known contributions to Tinsley's Magazine in the late 1870s. Lamb was the sister-in-law of another famous Victorian era woman writer: Mary Montgomerie Lamb 1843-1905 better known by the pen name Violet Fane which she adopted in response to her aristocratic family's disapproval of her writing.<br/><br/>Two of Lamb's letters from January 1878 are written on Beauport Battle letterhead the ancestral home of her husband Sir Archibald Lamb 1845-1921 3rd Baronet. On January 10 she inquired with Tinsley about her article about Charles XII operating under the assumption it would be published as the manuscript had not been returned. "Lady L regrets troubling Mssr. Tinsley with this note but in her magazine work she finds it much easier to get on with a clear understanding between editor and contributor." The story about Charles XII appeared in the January 1879 issue of the magazine and in the table of contents the article is credited to Lady Lamb and signed L.M.C. Lamb.<br/><br/>On February 19 she wrote to Tinsley about a biography of Sophia Dorothy of Gull as well as verses and asked that he sign them "LF" and not use her usual signature. Tinsley's Magazine was founded in 1867 with hopes of mimicking the success of other popular shilling magazines such as Temple Bar and Cornhill Magazine. However it was fraught with financial problems throughout its publishing history which ended in 1887.<br/><br/>The last letter in this group was written in October when Lamb wrote seeking proofs of her magazine articles so she could complete the work in advance of an expected busy holiday period. "I have a great deal of work from Mr. Routledge" she wrote.<br/><br/>Each of the letters are written in ink on a single sheet of stationary folded in half with no mailing envelopes. They are a bit toned but overall in very good condition. unknown books
