Wrappers. Covers a little ribbed and darkened at spine, staples rusting. From the library of the bookseller and crime writer George Sims; loosely inserted a typed note signed from Alan Hancox to "Miss Thomas", probably Myfanwy Thomas, 1p. 8vo (on lined index card), [1972]. 530 items. Hancox regrets that The Hills & The Vale is sold [item 256 in the catalogue, Richard Jefferies's "hitherto uncollected essays", 1909, with an introduction by Edward Thomas, £3.50], also 456 [Helen Thomas, As It Was / World Without End (1925), £1.50]. "Had many copies for most of the Edward Thomas books [30 items listed]. I'll send you a copy of my special catalogue when it is ready, but I find it very difficult to make a decision . . . whether to break up my collection or whether to sell items separately . . . I suppose it is too much to hope that you might have any material that might make my catalogue of greater interest . . . letters for instance?" Myfanwy Thomas (1910-2005) was the poet Edward Thomas's younger daughter. Alan Hancox's 150-item catalogue Edward Thomas: the man and his books was published later the same year. George Sims first met Thomas's widow, Helen, in the house she shared with her daughter Myfanwy, in 1959 or 1960; he harvested rich material from the family. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GS100170
