FAULKNER, Georgene (1873-1958)

Beschreibung

"The Story Lady" was a famed American children's book author whose many works include "Old Russian Tales" (1913), "The Story Lady's Book" (1921), "Tales of Many Folk" (1926). "Story Lady's Christmas Stories" (1927) and many others; their popularity earned her regular storytelling programs on popular Chicago radio stations. ANS, 2pp, heavy stock linen 5½" X 3½" correspondence card, Chicago, IL, n.y. [likely March 1922]. Addressed to George. Very good. Two tiny inoffensive mounting traces at left margin, not affecting text. Bearing the green printed name/address of "The Faulkner School" (a state-of-the-art school for girls founded by her sister in 1909 and where Georgene taught kindergarten), Faulkner boldly pens in her large, attractive script a note thanking a correspondent for "the honor of being one in your collection of autographs. I have done so little, I do not merit having my name in any way in the 'Halls of Fame'." She also transmits (not present) "one also by McEvoy, who does the 'Potters' -- He would give you one I am sure but you might like this also." (Writer J.P. McEvoy was Faulkner's editor at P.F. Volland Company, her Chicago publisher, and the author of the 1922 hit play "The Potters.") Faulkner's first editions are quite collectible and her autograph material seldom seen. This example was no doubt occasioned by the debut of her radio program "The Story Lady" on WGN radio. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 42102
