Hardcover. Condición: neuwertig. Erste Aufl. Fadengehefteter Ganzleineneinband mit (gold-) geprägtem Rücken- und Deckeltitel, goldgeprägtem Deckelbild, reicher Deckelgoldprägung und Schmuckvorsätzen in sehr gutem, neuwertigem Erhaltungszustand, das Buch wurde lediglich zu Prüfzwecken aus der Originalfolie genommen. " "Es war einmal ein Puppenhaus, das einer Königin gehörte. . .". Diese Erzählung von einer der bedeutendsten Autorinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde unlängst in einem Regal der Bibliothek des Puppenhauses entdeckt und wird in diesem edlen, prächtig illustrierten Leinenband erstmals veröffentlicht. Der bezaubernde Text wurde 1924 für Königin Mary verfasst und schildert die Geschichte einer zeitreisenden Elfe die sich unbemerkt von Aufsehern, Besuchern und sogar Königin Mary im Puppenhaus niederlässt. Ein charmantes Märchen, das den ganzen Esprit und die Fantasie von Vita Sackville-Wests Schreibstil enthält, mit einer Heldin, die Erwachsene und Kinder gleichermaßen fesseln wird. VITA SACKVILLE-WEST (1892-1962) war eine englische Dichterin, Schriftstellerin und Gartengestalterin. Ihre Werke waren erfolgreich, am ehesten bekannt wurde sie jedoch als Vorbild für die Haupt?gur in Virgina Woolfs Roman Orlando (1928). KATE BAYLAY ist eine in London lebende lllustratorin. Ihre Arbeiten erschienen u. a. bei Folio Society, Everyman's Library und in der Zeitschrift The Spectator. MATTHEW DENNISON hat zahlreiche Biografien verfasst, darunter Behind The Mask (2014), das gefeierte Buch über das Leben von Vita Sackville-West." (Verlagstext) Victoria Mary Sackville-West, Lady Nicolson (genannt Vita; * 9. März 1892 auf Knole House, Sevenoaks, Kent; gestorben 2. Juni 1962 auf Sissinghurst Castle) war eine englische Schriftstellerin und Gartengestalterin. Sie ist auch durch ihre Beziehung mit der Schriftstellerin Virginia Woolf bekannt geworden, der sie als Vorbild für den Roman Orlando diente. Als Tochter eines Barons trug sie das Höflichkeitsprädikat The Honourable (kurz The Hon.). Durch Ehe mit einem Knight wurde sie später Lady Nicolson. Sie erhielt 1926 und 1933 den Hawthornden-Preis. Sie schrieb in ihrem Leben mehr als 50 Bücher, am bekanntesten aber sind ihre Romane The Edwardians, ein einfühlsames Porträt einer Gesellschaft, und All Passion Spent, eine Beschreibung einer normalen Ehe und des Älterwerdens. In ihrem Roman The Dark Island (1934; dt. 1998 als Heißkalte Flammen), der im Gegensatz zu ihren meisten Werken kein Publikumserfolg war, berührt Sackville-West mit der vorsichtigen Thematisierung von lesbischer Liebe und Sadismus zwei Tabuthemen, die sie unmittelbar persönlich betrafen, deren Benennung sie in ihren anderen Werken aber bewusst umging.

The contents are: 'The new Assistant at Pine Clearing School. By Bret Harte'; 'A Study in Grey | From the "Cornhill Magazine."'; 'The Blue Rose. By E. Nesbit | From "Longman's Magazine."'; 'My Uncle's Story. By Lady West | From the "English Illustrated Magazine."'; Paganiniana | From the "Cornhill Magazine."'| "The Closing of the Doors."

"How very rude we must have seemed to you this afternoon; the Abbot & I were [talking?] over rather a difficult Community matter & [?] I did not want to be disturbed he did not expect to see you & [said?] what was in his [mind?] without realising to whom he was talking; it sounded so ludicrouslt abrupt & really was rather funny.

4pp., 4to. In red ink on bifolium of printed music paper. In fair condition, on lightly aged and worn paper, with a few minor smudges. The song is andante, and the lyrics begin: 'Pierrot, lovesick And out of tune, Took his guitar and sang to the moon. Sang all night With mouth awry, Whilst light clouds drifted across the sky.' Also included is a Post Office Telegram from 'Aunt Margery' to 'Lady Catherine Sackville Fishers gate Withyham', 29 July 1946: 'Terribly disappointed held up missed train by one minute best love'.From the Sackville papers. No trace of this piece has been found, either on OCLC WorldCat or elsewhere, and nothing has been discovered regarding the composer Ann Pearce. According to the article which broke the news of Lady Margaret Sackville's affair with Ramsay Macdonald, Daily Telegraph, 2 November 2006, she was 'a poet who mixed with writers such as W B Yeats and Wilfred Scawen Blunt, was a friend of Lady Ottoline Morrell, a leading member of the Bloomsbury Set'.

Written (perhaps appropriately) in a somewhat childish hand. Simple and straightforward communications, responding to requests for 'short poems' (she has none by her but encloses 'a Nonsense Story which might do for one of the Christmas Numbers') and 'fairy-tales' (the only ones she has are 'already with a publisher', but she can write 'others on different lines'), enquiring after date of publication, sending a 'specimen story' ('I can write as many more "adventures["] as may be required'), supplying information about previous publication, requesting a contract ('I am getting a little anxious.'), asking after 'Mr. George Allan', requesting the return of a manuscript ('I want it for something.'), stating that she wishes 'to revise the fairy tales before I attempt to do anything further with them', rejecting 'Mr. Matthews' conditions', i.e. the publisher Elkin Mathews, who in 1905 published her 'A hymn to Dionysus and Other Poems' (the only other book by her during the period was 'The Travelling Companions' published in London by Alston Rivers in 1906). On 29 July [1906] she writes from Inchmery: 'Could "The Princess and the Shepherd" be included in the book of fairy tales? It might take the place of "The Goblin and the Rabbit Hutch?"'.
