Harmondsworth: Puffin Books/ Penguin Books, 1960. Paperback. Very Good. FIRST PENGUIN EDITION, INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. MMP, incl. b/w illustrations by Ardizzone. Edgewear and a little creasing, wrappers spotted and gently rubbed. Browned, some creasing. Inscribed by Farjeon in blue biro to verso of biog. page: "To Bertha and Charles/ with love from/ Eleanor/ Christmas 1960". Else, pleasingly clean and tight. Very good Inscribed in year of publication. Little is known about Farjeon's dedicatees, Charles and Bertha Rose. It seems likely that Bertha (n�e Hagart) 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.

Kathy Acker is a muckraker in the original sense, one who dredges up the dirt and puts it on display to the delight and horror of the reading public." (Kleeman, 2018). Acker… Read More
