  • La Princesse de Cleves – Madame de la Fayette – With Aquarelle by Edith Follet – 1920′s

    La Princesse de Cleves – Madame de la Fayette – With Aquarelle by Edith Follet – 1920′s

    The original novel was published anonymously in 1678. This is the stunning 1920’s production by Nilsson, Paris and contains ten striking tipped in aquarelles (watercolours) as well as the beautiful front cover by Edith Follet.

    In the French language, quarto soft covers, 186 pages in very good condition. All the aquarelle bright and clean.

    La Princesse de Cleves is regarded by many as the first psychological novel and is now a classic. The story takes place between 1558 and 1559 at the Royal Court of Henry II of France. The novel reflects that era with precision. The characters mainly (apart from the heroine) represent real individual and the events that unfold are faithful to the historical record.

    Striking beautiful illustrations by Follet – would make a beautiful gift ….

  • The Grand Adventure Book for Boys – 1931

    The Grand Adventure Book for Boys – 1931

    No publication date but a nice prize inscription of 1931 so we can be pretty confident that that is the year. Published by Thomas Nelson, London etc as part of their “Jolly Bookshelf” series.

    Largish format with the striking pictorial cover which continues on to the spine. 96 pages of thoroughly jolly stories … the magic Matchbox; Billy’s Story; Mizuna the Witch; How Howard Slew the Bear … our favourite – the Wreck of the Pirate Ship. Nice full-page illustrations in colour. Thick spongy paper, nice font, the tiniest bit of foxing due to the paper type, Generally, a super copy.

    Some good old jolliness for boys … The Art Deco design of the hunted Leopard to the front is worth a million dollars.

  • The Charge of the Light Brigade – Alfred Lord Tennyson

    The Charge of the Light Brigade – Alfred Lord Tennyson

    The most unusual and dramatic presentation of this high energy poem about the “Charge of the Light Brigade” against the Russian Batteries at Balaclava on 25th October 1854. It didn’t go well.

    Landscape presentation with this unusual London Evening Star cover.

    Published by Golden Press New York in collaboration with Paul Hamlyn in London in 1964. Unpaginated but twenty plus pages of verse strikingly illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen probably America’s best ever illustrators of book for young people … this one with a much more adult tone .. a work of art really.

    Tennyson and his “Charge” best presentation
