INSCRIBED TO GILBERT MURRAY Natalie Maisie & Pavilastukay: Two Tales told in Verse

John Masefield

Verlag: William Heinemann William Heinemann 1942, 1942

Beschreibung

Double presentation copy, first in the year of publication from the author to one of his oldest friends, inscribed by Masefield on the flyleaf: 'For Gilbert Murray from John Masefield. April. 1942' and then, acquired on Murray's death, and given by a visiting American scholar to his landlady in Oxford. Blue cloth, some discolouration to boards; internally very good. Accompanying the book, a letter to Murray on Burcote Brook headed paper presenting 'yes another' book, signed in blue ink. Additionally, on Magdalen College, Oxford headed paper, a letter from George W Baer, 'For Mrs Gateley', written in 1957 (the year of Gilbert Murray's death at 91) at Christmas, thanking 'Mrs Gateley' for her 'kindness, consideration, generosity, and hospitality' to a 'visiting stranger' and offering this book, presumably acquired from Murray's estate. Later a Peace Fellow at Stanford University, Baer studied in Oxford in the 1950s. An excellent sequence of associations.
