Price: US$48.00 + shipping
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Gilt purple cloth boards. Frontispiece and five additional illustrations by Duncan Grant. A faint trace of foxing to endsheets, otherwise a near fine, bright copy, without printed dust jacket, as issued. From the famed collection of Bloomsbury/Hogarth Press collector William Beekman. Essential to a complete Virginia Woolf/Hogarth collection. First separate edition in book form (4000 printed). "Foreword: Mr. Wallace Hildick, when examining the MS of Virginia Woolf's MRS DALLOWAY, now in the British Museum, discovered the short children's story which is here published under the title NURSE LUGTON'S GOLDEN THIMBLE. The story appears suddenly in the middle of the text of the novel, but has nothing to do with it. It was in fact written for Virginia Woolf's niece Ann Stephen when she, as a child, was on a visit to her aunt in the country. The story was first published, with an explanatory note by Mr. Hildick, in THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT of June 17, 1965 -- Leonard Woolf." KIRKPATRICK & CLARKE A38a.
