Bindings sound, bit of foxing to title page from contact with frontis. Text is clean. Both volumes have the book plate of the noted author and actor Compton Mackenzie on the front paste down. Compton Mackenzie, the eldest of two sons and three daughters of Edward Compton Mackenzie (1854-1918) and Virginia Frances Bateman (1853-1940) was born in West Hartlepool on 17th January, 1883. His father was the founder and actor-manager of the Compton Comedy Company. His sister, Fay Compton (1894-1978), became a famous actress. According to his biographer, Gavin Wallace: "Monty, as he became known, was an imaginative and sensitive child, and the theatrical and bohemian milieu in which he grew up had a profound effect in determining both his flamboyant personality and his life." Mackenzie was educated at St Paul's School (1891-1900) and Magdalen College (1901-1904). He married the actress, Faith Stone (1878-1960) in 1905. At Oxford University he studied for the law but abandoned this career in 1907 so that he could concentrate on his first play, The Gentleman in Grey. This was followed by two successful novels, The Passionate Elopement (1911) and Carnival (1912). It was his third novel, Sinister Street (1913), that brought him to the attention of literary critics. Ford Madox Ford described it as "possibly a work of real genius" while Henry James argued that he was the most promising English novelist of his generation. The novel was banned "by some circulating libraries on account of its perceived sexual frankness."
