Published by Smith, Elder & Co., London; 1853. 8vo. 3 vols. First Edition. Condition: Very Good+
A very rare and handsome set of what many consider to be Charlotte Bronte's finest novel, surpassing even 'Jane Eyre'. The binding is in very smart condition, with just some general rubbing and scuffing. There is some fading to the spine, although it remains attractive. In all, the wear is minor and in no way detracts from this smart set.
Inside, there is a neat ownership inscription to the ffep. The pages are clean and bright with only some minor toning and age spotting. Lacks the half-title and adverts at end.
This novel was perhaps the most autobiographical of all Charlotte Bronte's works, written using her experiences in Brussels as its basis. It is believed she portrayed her real and imagined relationship with her mentor in Brussels, the married Professor M. Heger, through the characters of John Bretton and M. Paul Emmanuel.
In all, this is an extremely smart and collectible set of this very rare first edition by one of the literary greats. These volumes would be sure to compliment any literary set they grace.

Steinbeck, John. The Long Valley. New York: Viking Press, 1938. First Printing of the First US Edition. First Printing. A Near Fine copy with the usual age darkening to the front pastedown in a Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with gentle wear to the extremities, and a short closed edge tear at the head of the spine. A collectible copy of this collection of classic Steinbeck fiction. This volume of stories collected with the encouragement of his longtime editor Pascal Covici serves as a wonderful introduction to the work of Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck. Set in the beautiful Salinas Valley of California, where simple people farm the land and struggle to find a place for themselves in the world, these stories reflect Steinbeck's characteristic interests: the tensions between town and country, laborers and owners, past and present. Included here are the O. Henry Prize-winning story "The Murder"; "The Chrysanthemums," perhaps Steinbeck's most challenging story, both personally and artistically;…

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.
