Final draft manuscript copy, 348 pp., recto only. Standard letter paper, 11" x 8.5" bound in yellow and white wrappers with mylar covers. Fantasy author, Thomas A. Barron and Madeleine L'Engle's chance, first meeting was a rather serendipitous one involving a forged letter, teddy bear, museum exhibit, and eventual lunch in New York, resulting in a lifelong friendship between the two. Both authors experienced multiple rejections with their early efforts, L'engle famously for her most loved work, A Wrinkle in Time. This inspired Barron to keep trying after his first novel, Heartlight, was rejected numerous times. L'Engle also had a hand in revision of his work as evidenced by the letter accompanying this manuscript of Barron's second book, The Ancient One: "Dearest Madeleine, Enclosed is a new copy of The Ancient One, revised in accordance with your thoughtful comments. (All I ask in return is that you discard the old version. Thanks!) It's been a wonderful experience to complete Book Number Two - in part because your support, wisdom and love have been so very present throughout. Many thanks to you! Love to you from everyone - TAB O." Near fine with some waviness to page block at lower corner and light spotting to edges and rear wrapper. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4070
