Arthur Conan Doyle began 'The Stark Munro Letters' in 1894 while he was in Switzerland. His idea 'was to draw that critical period which comes to so many clever inquiring men when they first see the fallacies of the sect in which they have been raised... And then as a second aim I thought how seldom the struggle of a young man to find room for himself in the world has been done in fiction.' The semi-autobiographical account of the author's relationship with Dr Budd is of most interest. Some of the incidents recounted were imaginary but overall his relationship with Dr James Cullingworth who appears as Dr Budd in the 'Letters' is of immense biographical interest. In later editions, Conan Doyle removed the final note regarding the death of Stark Munro and his wife in a railway accident. £75.00 [001718] Coppard, A. E. . The Black Dog: Tales.

Master Humphrey's Clock was originally published in 88 weekly numbers, then in 20 monthly parts. After this Master Humphrey's Clock was published in 3 volumes (as here, the first edition in volume form), then Chapman and Hall issued The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge as separate volumes in 1841 without the Master Humphrey data. Eckel mentions that the illustration on p .108 of Vol. II is by Daniel Maclise, Hablot Knight Brown 'Phiz' drew the majority of the illustrations and George Cattermole the remainder. References: Eckel and Smith: 6. This copy contains the majority of internal flaws cited by Smith. In volume one the dedication leaf and preface are reversed. Eckel notes "The publication of these stories in the form presented was one of the first of several experiments which the author applied to several succeeding books. Dickens feared that his readers had become weary of stories in monthly issues on account of the lapse of time between the numbers. At the request of Chapman & Hall he outlined his plans partially in a letter when he wrote among other things: "To introduce a little club or knot of characters and to carry their personal histories and proceedings through the work; to introduce fresh characters constantly; to re-introduce Mr. Pickwick and Sam Weller; xxx to write amusing essays on the various foibles of the day as they arise; to take advantage of passing events; and to vary the form of the papers by throwing them into sketches, letters from imaginary correspondents, and so forth, so as to diversify the contents as much as possible."

Greene wrote excitedly to his mother, "I hope to see Walter de la Mare soon. Mrs Richmond has promised to ask him to tea," (Norman Sherry. The life of Graham Greene 1904-1939, pp.103-104.) He later considered the poet a friend and invited him to a strawberry tea at his parents' house. His admiration for de la Mare's poetry seemingly never waned and before Greene went up to Oxford in 1922, he wrote the following verse which was published in the Weekly Westminster, signed H. Graham Greene: No Browne brings me such pleasure As my beloved Barrie, Conrad, Bernard Shaw. My Rupert Brooke, my Yeats, my de la Mare Hold memories in richer store. Once at Oxford, Graham Greene continued to purchase books for pleasure that seemingly had little to do with his studies and this copy of his favourite poet's work presented as a gift to his older brother Raymond, is a touching record of their time at Oxford where both were students, a testament of brotherly admiration, and a lasting reminder of his early reading tastes. £450.00 [001738] Wilde, Oscar. Poems By Oscar Wilde with the Ballad of Reading Gaol. London: Methuen & Co Ltd, 1921. Reprint. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Cloth. Association Copy. Inscribed. Very Good / N/A. signed "H. Graham Greene" and with the letters "d.d." inserted before by Graham Greene's brother Raymond Greene, and with the ownership signature of Raymond Greene to the f.f.e.p., green cloth, small Blackwell's bookseller's label to front paste-down, some light spotting, cloth lightly rubbed at extremities, a few light thumb-marks. A FASCINATING ASSOCIATION COPY OF THIS VOLUME BY WILDE, SIGNED BY GREENE USING THE RARE, FULL FORM OF HIS NAME, and later in the possession of his older brother Raymond Greene. The small Blackwell's label is highly significant when coupled with the date of this book. In 1922, Graham Greene went up to Balliol College, Oxford to join his elder brother Raymond. A voracious reader and book-lover, he quickly became acquainted with the Oxford bookshops: "The end of my first year saw me heavily in debt: so many barrels of beer, so many books, shelf upon shelf of them, which had nothing to do with work. At Blackwells bookshop credit seemed to a newcomer endless" (Graham Greene. A Sort of Life, 1971: 122). At Oxford Graham Greene continued to purchase books for pleasure and cultivated a firm friendship with the publisher and owner, Basil Blackwell whom he later worked for and who published his first book Babbling April in 1925. This copy with its Blackwells label, presumably presented as a gift to his older brother Raymond is not only a touching record of their time at Oxford where both were students, but also an important relic in the evolution of a great British novelist. £300.00

In his 'Introduction' to the Collected Edition of his short stories, Greene relates that the stories in this collection were written while he was setting up his apartment in Antibes and the they were written in a mood of "sad hilarity." The title story, rather reminiscent of Mann's Death in Venice, in that it depends upon a similar irony for its effect but in a comic vein, is based upon an incident Greene saw at St. Jean-Cap Ferrat while working upon A Burnt-Out Case. Greene says the stories in this collection were an "escape in humour from the thought of death..." References: Wobbe, R. A.

He was known first as an accomplished ornithologist, publishing a paper on Berkshire birds in 1900, and subsequently, field guides and books on birds of a wider area. His interest in botany surfaced in 1899, and ... he documented the discovery of autumn willow (Salix serissima) and Frank's lovegrass (Eragrostis frankii) in the county. Thirty years of collecting laid the foundation for his flora, which is a thorough, accurate work, providing much information on habitat and distribution. His professional career was in teaching, although later in life he became Director of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. It was in 1932, while collecting plants on a coastal cliff in California, that he fell to his death." (P. Weatherbee.)

The binding on this copy is a skillful imitation of the original binding, using similar paper with the phoenix device on the upper cover. Housed in bespoke full morocco suede lined box with gilt lettering to spine. FIRST EDITION, ONE OF 1,000 SIGNED COPIES. A milestone in English literature and the history of censorship, a novel that has been pirated and translated, expurgated and bowdlerised, condemned and confiscated, and undoubtedly one of the most controversial books of the twentieth century. Lady Chatterley's Lover was Lawrence's most ambitious attempt to present his vision of the mystery and wonder of sex, and he described the book as "beautiful and tender and frail as the naked self". It was rejected by both British and American publishers without the comprehensive revisions they suggested and Lawrence eventually published it privately himself in Florence with the intention of distributing it to subscribers. Despite being banned in Britain, with several illicit consignments seized in police raids, the edition sold out within six months, but in England and the United States police and customs officials routinely confiscated and destroyed any copies they could find and prosecuted the importing booksellers. The full text of Lady Chatterley's Lover could not be published in the United Kingdom until Penguin Books successfully defended their publication of it in court in 1960, over 30 years after the publication of the first edition.

Frederick Carter ARE (1885-1967, British) was a close friend of D.H. Lawrence and a well-known writer, painter and mystic and authored "D.H. Lawrence and the Body Mystical" in 1932. This rare proof etching is an important associational piece between Lawrence and British artist and mystic Frederick Carter. The etching was engraved following Carter's trip to Bandol in 1929. It was published in a limited edition in 1932 as the frontispiece to "D.H. Lawrence and the Body Mystical" and a crude version of it was used on the dust-Jacket for 'Apropos of Lady Chatterley's Lover' (1930).

FIRST EDITION. `This book is about myself. It's the first autobiography to take only a section of a life and leave the rest. Ten years about is the time covered. This is better than starting with the bib and the bottle. How many novels are tolerable that begin with the hero in his cradle? And a good biography is of course a sort of novel [...] Let me, however, formally introduce myself. I am just as genial a character as Mr. Bernard Shaw, to give you an idea. I am rather what Mr. Shaw would have been like if he had been an artist--I here use "artist" in the widest possible sense--if he had not been an Irishman, if he had been a young man when the Great War occurred, if he had studied painting and philosophy instead of economics and Ibsen, and if he had been more richly endowed with imagination, emotion, intellect and a few other things. (He said he was a finer fellow than Shakespeare. I merely prefer myself to Mr. Shaw.)' (pp.1-3). The first volume of Wyndham Lewis' autobiography, `Blasting and Bombardiering' is illustrated with numerous drawings of celebrities of the day (including Joyce, Eliot and Pound) by the author, and is scarce in the intact dust-jacket decorated with colour-printed designs by Lewis (not recorded in Michel).

Sayers of this play written for the Lichfield Festival. Dorothy Leigh Sayers (1893-1957) was one of Britain's most successful detective novelists, remarkable for her meticulous research and elaborate plots. Her most famous character was the amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey. Towards the end of her life, Sayers abandoned the detective fiction that made her famous and her writing reflected her religious concerns. Between 1941-1942 she wrote a sequence of radio plays about the life of Christ that marked this turnaround in her work, and she was highly regarded as a formidable religious polemicist.

[Edmonds: A6b.] "Elizabeth and Essex was one of the most difficult books for Strachey to write and took the most time to write... After several weeks of reading about Queen Elizabeth and the Earl of Essex, however, he became fascinated by this particular relationship." The book was hugely popular selling 110,000 copies in England and 142,000 in the USA. It was printed 42 times in languages other than English. [Edmonds: pp. 28-30.] £200.00 FROM THE LIBRARY OF LYTTON STRACHEY [004387] Raleigh, Walter. Milton. London: Edward Arnold, 1905. Second Impression. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Buckram. Association Copy. Very Good / No Jacket. WITH THE BOOKPLATE OF LYTTON STRACHEY, DESIGNED FOR HIS LIBRARY BY BLOOMSBURY ARTIST DORA CARRINGTON, 2 pages of publisher's advertisements, brown buckram, spine with paper lettering-piece (rubbed), top edge gilt, others untrimmed, fore-edge browned, extremities lightly rubbed, minor offsetting to endleaves. An interesting copy of this work on Milton. Waler Raleigh was professor of literature at Oxford University and a spirited critic. Lytton's cousin Sir Charles Strachey had married Ada Raleigh, the sister of Professor Walter Raleigh and due to this connection, Lytton was sent by his mother in October 1897 to Liverpool University College where Raleigh was King Alfred Professor of English Literature. There Lytton became firm friends with Raleigh who taught him English literature, "He is thoroughly good." he told his mother. " In Raleigh's mercurial personality Lytton found much that tallied with his own mixed feelings towards the world. Now nearing his forties, Raleigh had already written books on 'The English novel', on 'Robert Louis Stevenson' and on 'Style' - all of which the young Lytton had read and liked." (Holroyd, p. 80.) This copy is from the library of Bloomsbury author, Lytton Strachey. Strachey was a keen book collector. The bookplate by Dora Carrington measures 3.5 cm. x 5 cm. It is the more uncommon large version of the tiny postage stamp size bookplate. It has the words "Lytton Strachey" in a plaque against a lattice background in a dark sepia tone. The bookplate occurs in three sizes and replaced a more elaborate bookplate dated 1899 with the name 'G. L. Strachey.' Carrington lived with Lytton Strachey for sixteen years and set up home with him and her husband at Ham Spray where they lived until his death. In 1931 Carrington designed some bookplates for Lytton's library but sticking them in and remembering him bidding for books at Sotheby's, she wrote rather prophetically: "these books will one day be looked at by those gloomy faced booksellers and buyers. And suddenly a premonition of a day when these labels will no longer (be) in the library came over me. I linger to ask Lytton not to stick in any more." (Michael Holroyd. Lytton Strachey, 1994, p. 659; David Garnett. Dora Carrington. Letters and extracts from her diaries, 1970, p. 46. The bookplate is illustrated on p. 46 and recorded in Brian North Lee, British Bookplates, 1979, no. 255) Lytton Strachey died ten months later and Dora Carrington shot herself a few months after him. £200.00 [004380] Raleigh, Walter. Style. London and New York: Edward Arnold, 1897. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Buckram. Association Copy. Signed. Very Good / No Jacket. WITH THE OWNERSHIP SIGNATURE AND BOOKPLATE OF LYTTON STRACHEY, DESIGNED FOR HIS LIBRARY BY HALSEY RICARDO IN 1899, 32 pages of publisher's advertisements dated October, 1899, brown/green buckram, paper lettering-piece to spine, extremities lightly rubbed and faded, top edge gilt, others untrimmed (browned). An interesting association copy of this work on literary style. The author was professor of literature at Oxford University and a spirited critic. Lytton's cousin Sir Charles Strachey had married Ada Raleigh, the sister of Professor Walter Raleigh and due to this connection, Lytton was sent by his mother in October 1897 to Liverpool University College where Raleigh was King Alfred Professor of English Literature. There Lytton became firm friends with Raleigh who taught him English literature, "He is thoroughly good." he told his mother. " In Raleigh's mercurial personality Lytton found much that tallied with his own mixed feelings towards the world. Now nearing his forties, Raleigh had already written books on 'The English novel', on 'Robert Louis Stevenson' and on 'Style' - all of which the young Lytton had read and liked." (Holroyd, p. 80.) The bookplate in this copy was designed by the leading architect Halsey Ricardo in 1899, who had also designed elements of Strachey's family drawing room at Lancaster Gate in London. The bookplate is rare and predates the one later designed for him by Dora Carrington.recorded in Brian North Lee, British Bookplates, 1979, no. 255). £250.00 [003669] Strachey, Lytton.

Very Good / No Jacket. half-title, bibliography, frontispiece and 8 plates, fore and lower edge untrimmed, light scattered spotting and foxing, mainly to fore-edge, bound in navy blue morocco-backed boards, spine in six compartments, lettered and tooled in gilt and blind, vellum-tipped corners. Edmonds: A3a. 'Queen Victoria' was issued April 7, 1921. 5000 copies printed. Lytton Strachey's much celebrated biography of Queen Victoria. The work was an immediate success and went on to win the James Tait Black memorial prize. Strachey's success as a biographer was his ability to use his own judgement and break with the nineteenth-century tradition of indiscriminately eulogizing the subject. He felt the biographer's duty was to maintain " a brevity which excludes everything that is redundant and nothing that is significant... The second, no less surely, is to maintain his own freedom of spirit. It is not his business to be complimentary; it is his business to lay bare the facts of the case, as he understands them." (Quoted in Edmonds, p. xvi.) The work was dedicated to Virginia Woolf and was an immediate success with the first 5,000 copies selling out within twenty four hours. Despite its popularity, Strachey felt its popularity was a mixed blessing, confessing to his brother James, "at any rate, I feel that I ought to do something particularly outrageous for my next book, in order to retrieve my reputation." (Ibid.) A handsome example of a classic work in the field of biography, bound in half leather. £250.00
