First edition. Octavo, pp. [i-vi] vii-ix [x] xi-xv [xvi] 1-560, 30 full-page unattributed black and white illustrations in the text, original light blue cloth, front cover ruled in blind, spine stamped in gold. Important 560-page partially original anthology collecting forty-five adventure, crime and supernatural stories by E. H. Visiak, Richard Middleton, M. P. Shiel, H. H. Ewers, Frederick Carter, Edgar Jepson, Nugent Barker, and others. Contents include the only appearance in print of Visiak's "The Shadow," a flawed novel "reworking on a symbolic level of concepts in Captain Marryat's The Phantom Ship" [Bleiler (1983)]. "Over and above their general high quality . [Gawsworth's] large anthologies of horror and supernatural Fiction -- ranging from quality ghost stories to mediocre contes cruels -- are notable for the amount of original material they contain, much of this coming from authors of considerable interest, including Oswell Blakeston, Thomas Burke, Frederick Carter, Louis Golding, Edgar Jepson, Arthur Machen, Richard Middleton, Eimar O'Duffy, M. P. Shiel and E. H. Visiak -- as well as Gawsworth himself, none of whose short stories have been collected separately. His early stories, like ABOVE THE RIVER (1931) and 'Scylla and Charybdis' (1934) are wistful nature fantasies in the style of Algernon Blackwood, but his later 'collaborations' with Shiel, Visiak and particularly Jepson ('The Shifting Growth' 1936, included in this collection) are more sinister and portentous, shadowing death." - Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), p. 392. [Reference: Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 452. Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, p. 392. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 9. Bleiler (1978), p. 80]. Foxing to endpapers, patchy fading to front and rear covers, spine faded, cloth start to split at lower left front joint, a very good copy in a good dust jacket, light chipping to corner and base of spine, upper spine chipped slightly affecting the "C" in the title lettering, some foxing to right front cover, and spine panel a bit age darkened with a small stain. An uncommon book, more so with the jacket. (21813).

9pp., 8vo. In fair condition, on nine leaves of worn and creased paper, the first leaf white, the others green. Minor emendations throughout. The poem is in five sections: 'The Exhortation' (beginning: 'In the crook of my arm | Rest again, nest again. | You are elbowed from harm, | []'), 'The Twinge' ('Never again, never again | Shall I know release from pain; | Never more, never more | Enter the diamented door.'), 'The Bravado' ('To you I raise | Praise, | Indifferently worded, | Heart-sworded, | And, | Merely, today's,'), 'The Fear' ('This hour of affliction | My thought returns | To that affection | A fool spurns, | [.]'), 'The Revanche' ('Were I to hate you | I should overrate you | And should I curse you | Seem to reimburse you | For that debt | I "should never forget."'). Gawsworth has numbered the lines in type 1-260, and then deleted the numeration. Note on first page in Gawsworth's sprawling hand: 'All were accepted by Fanchette for Two Cities in Spring '61 but he only published No 2 & 4 in Two Cities Etc 1961. | John Gawsworth'. 'Two Cities' was a literary magazine published in Paris from 1959 to 1964. Founded by Jean Fanchette, who also served as editor, and Anaïs Nin, it printed French and English material of interest to the Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, and Lawrence Durrell circles. The poem and its parts do not appear to have been published elsewhere.

On nine loose 12mo leaves torn from an album. In fair condition, on aged and browned paper. Wrapped by Gawsworth in a larger piece of paper, on the front of which he has written in pencil the presentation inscription: 'Kenilworth | love | from | His King | J R | 16 Feb. 1967', with the following in blue ink over the 'J R': 'Abdicated | Juan R'.

Davies'; p.VI, 'Author's Apologia'; pp.9-12, 'Marlow Hill | Triste amore é l'autunno'; pp.15-16, 'Advice', 'Nudity', and part of 'No Escape' and another poem; pp.23-26, 'Hardy in his impasse', 'Was' (poem of two six-line stanzas, marked as 'Suppressed'), 'Self Portrait', 'To Suspicion', 'Encounter' (marked as 'My favourite poem'), and part of 'Seasons'.
