Cloth. Condición: Very Good. FIRST EDITION, ROGER PEERS' COPY. 8vo. Original salmon cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Pushing to spine ends. Dints to bottom board edges, faint spotting to edges. Fawn book label of "Roger Neville Russ Peers" to front pastedown, inscribed, in the curator's elegant hand, in brown ink to ffep: "Roger P…eers, September 1974, Norfolk Broads." Else, clean, tight and tidy. In the original chartreuse typographical dust jacket: faint sunning to spine, edgewear and related fine bands of darkening. Very good/ very good A rather lovely association copy of Warner's final collection of non-Elfin short stories written during the years preceding her partner Valentine Ackland's death in November 1969, from the collection of Roger Peers, Curator of the Dorset County Museum (1959-1992), late friend of STW and saviour of her personal library and papers, many items of which were transferred to the Museum; in establishing its STW collection he played a crucial role in ensuring her cultural legacy. A prominent curator, Roger Peers (1932-2023) was also Secretary of the Dorset Natural History & Archaeological Society (DNHAS), through which he met STW. The elderly author granted Peers "the chance to choose for the collection of DNHAS (which owns the Dorset County Museum) any books from the library in her house at Frome Vauchurch, and also for myself" (Peers, 2017). In 1986, with the house needing to be cleared, Peers worked with bookseller John Ruston to "put aside all the copies of STW's and VA's books, all the presentation copies of other authors and a great many books of significance and reference, as well as shopping lists and drafts of poems". Peers also retrieved manuscripts of STW's musical compositions from rubbish bags. Russell & Lawrence Mitchell 33a; Roger Peers (2017) 'A Dilemma and a Narrow Escape.'

Very good/ good+ A pleasing association copy of STW's collection of stories taking a "cat's-eye-view of creation" from the collection of Roger Peers, Curator of the Dorset County Museum (1959-1992), late friend of STW and saviour of her personal library and papers, many items of which were transferred to the Museum; in establishing its STW collection he played a crucial role in ensuring her cultural legacy.

Cloth. Condición: Good+. FIRST UK EDITION, BO FOSTER'S COPY. 8vo. Original blue and black mottled cloth, green paper title label to spine. Fore- and bottom edges untrimmed. Head cap frayed, uneven fading to boards, paper label rubbed blank. Edges tobacco-toned. "EHMF["oster = Bo", added in pencil], London 36" in blue ink and a b…old hand to ffep, fawn book label of "Roger Neville Russ Peers" to front pastedown. Heavy foxing to front and rear, lighter throughout, strong pencil lines marking a number of poems, especially 'Nelly Trim,' spine cracked, inconsequentially, at gathering D. One-page hand-written list of book titles (titled, 'Roger Peers'), mostly relating to Dorset, laid in. Good+ An unusual double association copy of STW's first poetry collection, owned, first, by Bo Foster, an important early lover of Valentine Ackland's, and later, by Roger Peers, Curator of the Dorset County Museum (1959-1992), late friend of STW and saviour of her personal library and papers, many of which were transferred to the Museum; in establishing its STW and VA collections he played a crucial role in ensuring both women's cultural legacies. Valentine Ackland met Eleanor 'Bo' Foster when she was 17; the older woman "completed [the younger's] education both culturally and sexually and encouraged her poetic ambitions". Foster was VA's most significant lover before STW, featuring as 'X' in her posthumously published memoir, For Sylvia (1985). Intriguingly, Foster initialled and dated this copy of STW's first book five years after her painful break-up with Ackland, shortly after the younger poet began her lifelong relationship with STW. Fleeing the Blitz a few years later, Foster elected to move to Dorset with her brother, buying a house just two miles away from Frome Vauchurch, where VA and STW lived. The former lovers became reacquainted during the 1950s and by Ackland's death, Foster was able to send such frank commiserations to STW as: "What can I say? Nothing adequate I loved V.A. and bless you for giving her 40 years of peace & happiness" (Stinton, 2008). A prominent curator, Roger Peers (1932-2023) was also Secretary of the Dorset Natural History & Archaeological Society (DNHAS), through which he met STW. The elderly author granted Peers "the chance to choose for the collection of DNHAS (which owns the Dorset County Museum) any books from the library in her house at Frome Vauchurch, and also for myself" (Peers, 2017). In 1986, with the house needing to be cleared, Peers worked with bookseller John Ruston to "put aside all the copies of STW's and VA's books, all the presentation copies of other authors and a great many books of significance and reference, as well as shopping lists and drafts of poems". Peers also retrieved manuscripts of STW's musical compositions from rubbish bags. As the laid-in list suggests, alongside titles by STW and Valentine Ackland, Peers' own book collection, with its distinctive Dorset flavour, boasted a large number of Ackland's copies of Thomas Hardy titles, a number inscribed to her from STW.
