  • The Belgium Essays – Charlotte and Emily Bronte – Edited and translated by Sue Lonoff.

    The Belgium Essays – Charlotte and Emily Bronte – Edited and translated by Sue Lonoff.

    A first edition of this rather scarce and unknown book published as “A Critical Edition” by the Yale University Press in 1996 [they have done some great stuff].

    Large octavo, 468 pages, very good condition in a full clean dust jacket.

    In 1842 Charlotte and Emily B went to Brussels to study and write under the tutelage of Constantin Heger. They returned for the same again the next year. The result of this was twenty-eight essays penned in French. This book is the first to contain them all, nine of them have never been published elsewhere. They are presented in their original form with manuscript corrections and notes and with a facing English translation by Lonoff.

    Special Bronte work from Charlotte and Emily expanding our knowledge of their prestigious talent.

  • A Summer in The Twenties – Peter Dickinson – First US Edition

    A Summer in The Twenties – Peter Dickinson – First US Edition

    First US edition published by Pantheon, New York in 1981. Octavo, 254 pages, hint of edge age but really a very nice copy in a delightful dust jacket designed by Fred Marcellino.

    Set in the 1920’s (hopefully obviously) Toma well to do athletic type sees his life change and he ends up as a stand in train driver during the General Strike in England. Torn between loves and class divides his path gets rather twisted. A novel of suspense and adventure it is.

    The author had an editorial role at The Punch for seventeen years before taking up his own pen – he never looks back and won several important awards.

    Train drivers in the thick of it during the 1920’s

  • Clochemerle Les Bains – Gabriel Chevallier – First UK Edition 1964

    Clochemerle Les Bains – Gabriel Chevallier – First UK Edition 1964

    A super copy of this fun book translated by Xan Fielding and published by Secker & Warburg, Lonon in 1964. Thick octavo, 448 pages, lively dust jacket designed by A Games.

    Not sure what age you have to be to remember the riotous naughty comedy series about the characters and goings on in this idyllic French village. Well written but with a wit beyond and a good dousing of hanky-panky, maybe not entirely in fitting with now norms (oh dreary me). Regardless, anyone with warm blood is likely to enjoy until the end and pine a little for French wine and real cheese.

    Clochemerle where lives were lived to the full and nobody got injured – well permanently injured

  • The Devil Man – Edgar Wallace – 1931

    The Devil Man – Edgar Wallace – 1931

    A fine copy of this Edgar Wallace classic. Published by Doubleday, Doran etc for The Crime Club in 1931. Octavo, 312 pages, stylised decoration to red end paper – unusual dust jacket, top edge stained red as required. A fine copy in a super dust jacket.

    The promotion for this book claims the best Edgar Wallace to date – it might be. The story centres around Charles Peace a burglar who resorted to murder … not regarded as a pleasant character. Starts in the 1870’s and is, seemingly, based on a real-life character ….

    The Fellowship of the Frog – Edgar Wallace – First Edition by Burt – 1923

    A fine copy of this Edgar Wallace classic. Published by AL Birt in 1923, octavo, 421 pages, super clean and a dust jacket to die for.

    The Fellowship of the Frogs was not to be messed with. James G Bliss is a wealthy industrialist – he gets a serious whack and when for a brief moment regains strength can only say “Frog, frog … left arm …frog”.

    Frogs abound but not of the amphibious kind! Croak!
