Description:
The First UK printing published by Putnam, London in 1952. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Some light toning to the text-block with some offsetting to the blank end-papers. Free from inscriptions and erasures. The WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition with some light toning to the edges and spine. The wrapper artwork by Klaus Meyer is striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. 'Der Tinker' was written in code in September 1944 while Fallada was in prison on a charge of attempted murder. He was later acquitted and released and went to live in Berlin. His German publisher Herr Rowohlt knew of its existence, found the manuscript and deciphered it. It was then published under his imprint in 1950, three years after Fallada's death. This, the first English translation by Charlotte and A.L. Lloyd was subsequently published two years later. One of the key works by this German Author, who has had a major resurgence of interest in the last few years. Scarce. Ashton Rare Books welcomes… Read More

Description:
The First UK printing published by Michael Joseph Ltd, London in 1950. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Unpaginated, stapled booklet. Illustrations (on very page) in red by David Knight. Light beige printed card wraps with black titles and red decoration to the front. French flaps not clipped with correct price 1/6 net. Some light toning to the card wrapper edges. Contents clean and bright. Staples clean. The first issue of this narrative poem about Mrs. Malone, an old hermit who lives in the woods, who welcomes all the animals that seek shelter at her door, and when she dies is welcomed by St. Peter to Heaven. Signed and inscribed by the author to the half-title : 'For Bertha Hagart from her loving Eleanor Farjeon. Christmas 1953.' It seems likely that Bertha Hagart (later Rose) was 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 Hagart and Farjeon met… Read More

Description:
The First UK printing published by The Bodley Head, London in 1984. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Publisher's original black cloth with silver lettering to the spine. The binding remains tight and square, minimally bumped to the top corners. The book has been signed (without dedication) in black ink by the author to the title page. There is a 3 cm diagonal line in black ink at the top of page 161 (also visible for a couple of millimetres at the top of page 163); the ink matches that of the author's signature, so may well have been an accident during the signing session (the book's otherwise near immaculate state would support this theory). The WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition. The top outer right corner is a little rubbed, with some silver visible beneath the black and a tiny closed tear to the paper at the rear at the same spot. There are a few very light scratches visible to the silver portion of the front panel. The wrapper is notorious for being easily rubbed and damaged.… Read More
