by WODEHOUSE, P.G. [Pelham Grenville] (1881-1975)
- Used
George Newnes Ltd., London, n.d. [1909]. FIRST (AND ONLY) EDITION, possibly withdrawn. Contains four Wodehouse stories, three of which are published for the first time in book form (How Pillingshoot Scored had already appeared in Tales of St.Austins, 1903). These Newnes-period Wodehouse stories were collected in this particularly scarce omnibus and the present example offered is the publisher's own file copy. We note only one other copy for sale (also through ourselves) and none have ever appeared at auction. The bibliographer McIlvaine mentions the title but does not provide a description. A companion volume Twenty Five Football Stories was also mooted by Newnes the following year, but again this has proved virtually impossible to locate. The sheer paucity of copies suggests that both these sporting volumes were printed in small numbers or may have been withdrawn. Whatever the circumstances, this remains an exceptionally rare book. 208pp. Small octavo. Bound in publisher's illustrated card covers stamped by publisher as the 'File' copy, later linen back, housed in collector's folding box. Some rubbing and wear to joints else very good indeed. McIlvaine E126/127.

Description:
1879 1st ed Thomas Hardy Return of the Native Egdon Heath Witchcraft Clym & Vye"The Return of the Native" was admired for its powerfully evoked setting of Egdon Heath, which was based on the somber countryside Thomas Hardy had known as a child. Egdon Heath, a fictional location created by Hardy, is known for widespread witchcraft and superstitions.
This is his 6th novel which was known for its sensationalism and controversial themes quickly becoming one of Hardy's most popular and highly regarded novels. The novel portrays the tragic marriage of Eustacia Vye and Clym Yeobright, the returning native, who is blind to his wife's needs by his naive zeal and moral fervor.
This 1879 edition is 2 volumes in one published as a part of Tauchnitz's collection of British Author printings.

v+321 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to cover and spine. First British edition. St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
