A rare book about the love and life shared by the author and his wife during the war years when they were both young. He has written a fascinating account of their time together - a time full of hope, joy and much pathos. Sir Alan Charles Laurence Whistler CBE (21 January 1912 - 19 December 2000) was a British glass engraver and poet. He was both the first President of the British Guild of Glass Engravers and the first recipient of the King's Gold Medal for Poetry. In 1939, Whistler married the actress Jill Furse. Their son, Simon (1940-2005) was a musician and also a notable glass engraver. Jill died in 1944, of blood poisoning, soon after giving birth to a daughter, Caroline; Laurence's brother, Rex Whistler, died the same year. Laurence Whistler's story of his five year marriage tp Jill Furse before her sudden early death has achieved a classic quality. Despite the tragedy of its ending the lasting impression is of two lives lived to the full in supreme happiness. Jill Furse was remarkable for many gifts; beauty, acting,poetry and , above all gaity and courage. This new edition includes for the first time several of her poems that had previously only been printed in a limited edition, and two new photographs. Ref JJJ 6.

It's by Laurence Whistler (brother of Rex Whistler) about his wife, who was my first cousin & one of the saints of the world . . ." John Maud (KCB 1946, GCB 1955, created 1967 Lord Redcliffe-Maud), whose mother was a Furse, was Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Education, where David Hardman, Labour MP for Darlington, was Parliamentary Secretary; on the 27th Hardman married Barbara Barker, in Bath. "Anyone who met Jill for the first time in her poems," writes Whistler in his introductory essay, "would form a strange idea of her. That is because her soul was greater than her talent in this direction, and verse could never have become for her, what living and acting already were, a big enough vehicle for abundance of spirit." Laurence Whistler married the actress Jill Furse in 1939; she died five years later, aged 29. In 1964 he commemorated her in his book The Initials in the Heart; in 1950 he married her younger sister Theresa.

O.C.T.U), 18 September 1945; on the front pastedown the Pitter library book-label. "It is a book about and by my wife," writes Whistler, and contains some of her poems. But when I say it is 'by' her, I should add that she never thought herself of publishing her few poems in a book. The stage was her real art, in the ordinary sense. I hope that . . . these years have not been too wretched or dark for you.". Inscribed by Author(s).
