FIRST EDITION AUTOBIOGRAPHY, INSCRIBED AND PRESENTED BY THE AUTHOR. Frieda Lawrence was born into the German nobility at Metz. She married D.H. Lawrence in 1914 and lived with him in England during the First World War. They left postwar England at the earliest opportunity, traveled widely, eventually settled at the Kiowa Ranch near Taos, New Mexico, and in Lawrence's last years at the Villa Mirenda, near Scandicci in Tuscany. Georgia O'Keeffe, who knew her in Taos, said in 1974: "Frieda was very special. I can remember very clearly the first time I ever saw her, standing in a doorway, with her hair all frizzed out, wearing a cheap red calico dress that looked as though she'd just wiped out the frying pan with it. She was not thin, and not young, but there was something radiant and wonderful about her." The recipient, "Dale" Warren was and American Editor and Publisher. After interrupting his studies to serve in World War I, in 1919 Warren graduated from Princeton University, where F. Scott Fitzgerald was a classmate. Warren worked as a sales representative for the American Book Co. and Princeton University Press before becoming a publicity agent and then director of advertising for Houghton Mifflin. There he edited A Modern Galaxy: Short Stories (1930), which featured Willa Cathers "Double Birthday" (1929). Warren also edited What is a Book: Thoughts About Writing (1935) and wrote The Care and Feeding of a Place in the Country (1941). Inscribed and association copies of Frieda Lawrence's autobiography are very scarce in commerce.

Frieda Lawrence (August 11, 1879 August 11, 1956), born Frieda von Richthofen, was a German literary figure mainly known for her marriage to the British novelist D. H. Lawrence. She was a distant relation of Manfred von Richthofen, the "Red Baron". 1912, she met D. H. Lawrence, a former student of her husband. She soon fell in love with him and the pair eloped to Germany, Frieda leaving her children behind. During their stay, Lawrence was arrested for spying and, after the intervention of Frieda's father, the couple walked south, over the Alps to Italy. Frieda and Lawrence married in 1914. They intended to return to the continent, but the outbreak of war kept them in England, where they endured official harassment and censorship. They also struggled with limited resources and D.H. Lawrence's already frail health. Leaving post-war England at the earliest opportunity, they traveled widely, eventually settling at the Kiowa Ranch (now D. H. Lawrence Ranch) near Taos, New Mexico.
