About This Item
London: Privately published; "Made and printed in Great Britain by the Favil Press Ltd", 1955. Paperback. Very Good. INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. Side-stapled pamphlet (21.6 x 14cm), pp. [12]. Pink card wrappers, lettered in black. Sunned and soiled, faint liquid stain to rear wrapper, corners creased. Gently toned, a few fox spots. Inscribed by Eleanor Farjeon in blue ink to limitation page: "To dear Bertha/ with Eleanor's love/ for Christmas 1955". Else, clean. Still, a pleasing copy of this Farjeon family collaboration. JiscLHD lists only one copy at the Bodleian, OCLC finds no further copies. Little is known about Farjeon's dedicatee, Bertha Hagart. It seems likely she is the Royal Academy of Music (RAM)-trained, South African pianist, who was active professionally both in South Africa and Britain in the 1950s. If this is the case, it also seems probable that the two women met through Farjeon's elder brother Harry, who taught at RAM for 45 years. This title was subsequently published as a French Acting Edition (no. 87) in 1957.
