About This Item
London: Cresset Press, 1939. 1st Edition . True first printing of Sarton's second book, preceding the U.S. edition. This was the first British publication of a Sarton book, and it contains the contents of both of her first two American books: "Encounter in April" and "Inner Landscape." Very good plus in green boards that are bright and clean; interior unmarked save for a faint stain along a small portion of the inner edge between pages. In a very good dust jacket (price intact) with sunning to spine, minor chipping at spine ends and corners, and a piece of matching tape on the reverse along the spine edge. INSCRIBED AND DATED BY SARTON on the flyleaf: "To Laura on a most happy occasion, May Sarton, and (---!). Honolulu, April 10, 1957." Opposite on the front pastedown is the book plate of Laura Mell Pleadwell, obviously the Laura in the inscription. She was the stepmother of Theodora Pleadwell, who was a student in Sarton's Apprentice Theatre under Eva le Gallienne in the early 1930s. Letters indicate Theodora was a former lover and later friends with Sarton when she lived in New York with Muriel Rukeyser. Laura was married to Frank Lester Pleadwell, and Princeton has letters from Sarton to both Frank and Laura.
