ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1937). 1937 1st edition. 8vo (126 x 192mm). Pp,319. Not illustrated. Printed on blue-washed paper. Brown cloth, spine titled in gilt. D/w price 8s. 6d. net. Slight stains to cloth, browning to edges but good-plus. Stains to frayed dust-wrapper. This book is an interesting anthology of Jefferies' work, assembled by Henry Williamson and provided by him with extensive commentary. Excerpts from nineteen of Jefferies' books are given, with a thumbnail sketch of each at the beginning. Williamson's purpose in assembling this book was to set down reasons and examples by which future generations could hold Jefferies in appropriately high regard. This book followed hot on the heels of Williamson's previous paean to Jefferies, his own reworking of Hodge and His Masters. More speculatively, this present book appeared while George Orwell was in Marrakesh, writing Coming Up For Air which itself could easily have been set off by reading this book, particularly pp9ff. Readers Coming Up For Air, and Jefferies' own books, will be aware of the irony of Jefferies being from just outside Swindon. Almost as informative about Williamson as about Jefferies, well worth a read. .

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Gertrude Hermes. (illustrator). First Edition Thus. 1st Edition Thus 1938 with wood engravings by Gertrude Hermes. Ownership Inscription of Susan Connely and a presentation inscription of Henry Williamson to her. A few annotation in the hand of Williamson. Dated 1946. When HW first returned to Georgeham in October 1946 after his breakup of this marriage he stayed for a short while with his friends Mike and Margery Mitchell in a villagenear HW's Field at Ox's Cross and the woods of nearby Spreacombe. At this point HW fell in love with Susan Connely, the sixteen-year-old step-daughter of his friend Malcolm Elwin, who was married to Eve Connely and living by courtesy of a friend at Underborough at Westward Ho! (It was Elwin who was the key to the Chronicle being published by Macdonald.) That potential 'Barleybright' relationship was, however, terminated very firmly by the Elwins (mainly by Eve) to HW's inevitable anguish. Susan plays an important role in The Gale of the World the final volume in the Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight. From the The Hugoe Matthews collection.
