A FEW LOTS OF BEAT LITERATURE & ART 5. (Beat Art) LaVigne, Robert. “Painting” - original oil on canvas. Original oil on canvas. 45.5x40.5 cm. (18x16”), and framed. With frame measures 49.5x44 cm (19½x17¼”). Signed in the image with artist’s initials, as well as signed, dated and titled on verso of canvas. Cheney, WA: 1977-1978 A colorful fantasy scene utilizing shades of orange, blue, brown and red. LaVigne was one of the original Beats in the Bay Area where he exhibited at the Batman Gallery and attended the Six Gallery reading. He was Peter Orlovsky’s lover before Ginsberg saw Peter for the first time in LaVigne’s full-length, nude portrait of him. For the last 30 years Robert has been a artist who exhibits regularly and whose works are part of major institutional collections including the Smithsonian and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor. He’s illustrated books and broadsides by Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Lew Welch, and many others, and was also the recipient of several prestigious awards for set design. A very pleasing example of LaVigne’s work---titled, signed in full, and dated 1978/1979 on the verso. Fine. (800/1200)

6. (Beat Art) Mrabet, Mohammed. Untitled drawing by Mohammed Mrabet. Original drawing in black and yellow-colored marker on paper. 30.3x23 cm. (12x9”).

This work uses bold black lines to create patterns in which animal and human forms are incorporated, all on a yellow background. William Burroughs said of Mrabet’s drawings: “The art of Mohammed Mrabet cannot be called primitive, for the draftsmanship is quite sophisticated. On one hand, the paintings derive from the classical Arab tradition, as expressed in mosaics; there is also some resemblance to the spirit pictures drawn by Eskimo shamans.” A mysterious and evocative drawing from this Moroccan artist and writer who is perhaps best known for his association with Paul Bowles. Fine. (500/800)

Page 2 7. (Beat Art) Mrabet, Mohammed. Untitled drawing by Mohammed Mrabet. Original drawing in black and colored marker (brown, blue, green and purple) on paper. 23x30.3 cm. (9x12”). Signed and dated by the artist. 1982 Mohammed Mrabet (b.1936) is a Moroccan artist associated with the Beat generation of artists and writers. This work uses bold black lines to create patterns in which animal and human forms are incorporated, with color embellishments, such as multi-colored scales on the serpentine figure, and brown coloring on the other humanoid faces. William Burroughs said of Mrabet’s drawings: “The art of Mohammed Mrabet cannot be called primitive, for the draftsmanship is quite sophisticated. On one hand, the paintings derive from the classical Arab tradition, as expressed in mosaics; there is also some resemblance to the spirit pictures drawn by Eskimo shamans.” A mysterious and evocative drawing from this Moroccan artist and writer who is perhaps best known for his association with Paul Bowles. Fine. (500/800)

Most letters discuss recent publications, various dabbles in art and theatre, and the shipment of Miller’s books to Sokoloff (often Miller forgot if he shipped one of his books to his friend yet). Many letters describe various ways to smuggle Miller’s banned titles into the United States, to Sokoloff ’s New York address. For example, one letter dated 9/17/56 gives the mailing address of Miller’s Russian friend living in Paris to whom Sokoloff can send some money in exchange for the young man to send copies of his banned books, one at a time of course. He also offers the advice, “If you feel inclined, add a little extra [money] for drink or cigarettes.” In that same letter Miller writes, “Sexus (Book one of the ‘The Rosy Crucifixion’) is almost impossible to obtain. Banned in Paris and in Tokyo. Exists now only in Danish. However copies pop up now and then.” A fascinating archive Lot 120 recounting Miller’s thoughts to a friend during an interesting point in his career, and of the avenues taken while many of Miller’s titles were banned in the United States, as well as and Tokyo, etc. Some wear from handling; a few with chips, tears or soiling, mostly marginal; very good.

Boston: Loring, [1868] First state with “Fame and Fortune” announced for December and Dick alone on the decorative title page. The Dictionary of American Biography calls Horatio Alger the “most successful writer of boys’ stories in the whole of American literature.” Alger was ordained in 1864, and he accepted the pulpit of a church in Brewster, Mass., but he was forced to leave in 1866 following allegations of sexual activities with local boys. In that year he moved to New York City, and, with the publication and sensational success of Ragged Dick; or, Street Life in New York with the Bootblacks (serialized in 1867, published in book form in 1868), the story of a poor shoeshine boy who rises to wealth, Alger found his lifelong theme. In the more than 100 books that he would write over 30 years, Alger followed the rags-to-riches formula that he had hit upon in his first book. Alger’s novels had enormous popular appeal at a time when great personal fortunes were being made and seemingly unbounded opportunities for advancement existed in the United States’ burgeoning industrial cities. Alger’s most popular books were Ragged Dick, Luck and Pluck, and the Tattered Tom series. His books sold over 20 million copies. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 29.

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1912 First printing with no publisher’s code and with “Published February, 1912” on copyright notice. Greyfriars Bobby was a Skye Terrier who became well known in 19th-century Edinburgh after reportedly spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner, John Gray, until he died himself on 14 January 1872. Bobby’s touching devotion inspired Greyfriars Bobby by Eleanor Atkinson, which gave rise to the films Greyfriars Bobby (1961) and The Adventures of Greyfriars Bobby (2006). Bobby belonged to John Gray, who worked for the Edinburgh City Police as a night watchman, and the two were inseparable for approximately two years. On 8 February 1858, Gray died of tuberculosis. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, the graveyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Bobby, who survived Gray by fourteen years, is said to have spent the rest of his life sitting on his master’s grave. Bobby died in 1872 and could not be buried within the cemetery itself, since it was regarded as consecrated ground. He was buried instead just inside the gate of Greyfriars Kirkyard, not far from John Gray’s grave. A red granite stone was erected on Bobby’s grave by The Dog Aid Society of Scotland, and unveiled by the Duke of Gloucester on 13 May 1981. Since around 2000 this has been a local shrine, with sticks (for Bobby to fetch) frequently being left and occasionally dog toys, flowers etc. A Peter Parley to Penrod ‘border-line selection’.

198. Burnett, Frances Hodgson. Little Lord Fauntleroy. xi, [1], 209, [1] + [14] ad pp. Illustrated with drawings by Reginald B. Birch. (Large 8vo) original pictorial brown cloth. First Edition. New York: Scribner’s, 1886 First issue, with The De Vinne Press imprint at verso of last page of text and number 14 printed on the lower left margin of page 209. Author signed card laid in. Burnett’s first childrens novel, Little Lord Fauntleroy was originally published as a serial in the St. Nicholas Magazine between November 1885 and October 1886, then as a book by Scribner’s in 1886. Burnett based Little Lord Fauntleroy’s character on her young son, Vivian. The accompanying illustrations by Reginald Birch set fashion trends, and the book was so popular that there was a craze of mothers dressing their sons with velvet suits and lace collars based on Oscar Wilde’s attire, as well as looking like a hero. Little Lord Fauntleroy set a precedent in copyright law when in 1888 its author won a lawsuit against E. V. Seebohm over the rights to theatrical adaptations of the work. The work spawned a number of films, the most successful starring Freddie Bartholomew as Little Lord Fauntleroy, released in 1936. BAL 2064; Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 80. A touch of wear to edges, diagonal tear to rear free endpaper; near fine. (500/800)

212.  Coolidge, Susan [pseud. of Sarah Chauncey Woolsey]. What Katy Did. 274, [2] ad pp. Illustrations by Addie Ledyard. (8vo) original pictorial green cloth stamped in gilt and black. First Edition. Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1873 Autograph note, signed by the author laid in. “Out of the infinite knowledge flows the infinite pity’s fadeless rose.” Susan Coolidge shared a publisher (Roberts Brothers) with , and What Katy Did helped satisfy the demand for naturalistic novels about girlhood that followed the 1868 success of Little Women. Like Alcott, Coolidge heightened the realism of her novel by drawing on her own childhood memories. The result is a lively account of 19th-century American family life, still remarkably fresh and readable more than a century later. However, What Katy Did also illustrates some profound social shifts, offering a glimpse into the treatment of paraplegics in the 19th century. Katy’s trials reflect a popular theme in the girls’ fiction of the era: a headstrong girl suffers a debilitating accident or illness which proves to be a blessing in disguise, because it helps her forget her selfish desires and live for others instead. A 1990s reading study in Great Britain found the “What Katy Did” series ranked among the ten most popular reading choices for 12-year-old girls. The first volumes of the series remain in print in both countries. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 39. Some light edge wear, spine leaning; very good. (1000/1500)

Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote of the novel in a letter to William D. Ticknor: “What is the mystery of these innumerable editions of the Lamplighter, and other books neither better nor worse?” In this same letter Hawthorne made his infamous remark, “America is now wholly given over to a d—d mob of scribbling women”.

FIRST EDITION OF HANS BRINKER 223. Dodge, M[ary] E[lizabeth Mapes]. Hans Brinker; or, The Silver Skates. A Story of Life in Holland. [ii], 347, +[4] ad pp. Illustrations by F.O.C. Darley and . (8vo) original brown cloth, publisher’s gilt monogram on covers, spine lettered in gilt. Custom leather edged pictorial box. First Edition. New York: James O’Kane, 1866 Autograph note, signed, laid in reading: “This story of Hans Brinker is dedicated to the Boys and Girls of New Amsterdam by their friend Mary Mapes Dodge”. The novel introduced the sport of Dutch speed skating to Americans, and in U.S. media Hans Brinker is still considered the prototypical speed skater. The book is also notable for popularizing the story of the little Dutch boy who plugs a dike with his finger. Full of Dutch cultural and historical information, the book became an instant bestseller, outselling all other books in its first year of publication except Charles Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend. The novel has since been continuously in print, most often in multiple editions and formats, and remains a childrens classic. Later in life Mary Mapes Dodge became an associate editor of Hearth and Home, edited by Harriet Beecher Stowe. She became an editor in her own right with the children’s St. Nicholas Magazine, for which she was able to solicit stories from a number of well-known writers including Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, and Robert Louis Stevenson.

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1868 An inscribed leaf (from another work) laid in. Stories of the thrilling adventures and hair-raising escapes of Paul du Chaillu during his years of venturing into the interior of equatorial Africa, encountering animals and sights no white man had seen before. The accounts of his interactions with gorillas, snakes, and ants are especially engaging. In 1860 he brought to the United States the first gorilla ever seen here. He was the first white man to bring back information about pygmies in the remote interior of Africa. Also, he was a member along with a variety of mostly literary figures in author J. M. Barrie’s amateur cricket team, the “Allahakbarries”. All of Du Chaillu’s discoveries were eventually verified, to the embarrassment of the public who had disbelieved in him, and who had taken to referring to tall tales as “Du Chaillus”.

ONLY THE 2ND COPY TO APPEAR AT AUCTION IN RECENT HISTORY 227. Farquharson, Martha [Finley, Martha]. Elsie Dinsmore. 288 pp. Frontispiece and extra pictorial title page. (Small 8vo) original blindstamped red cloth, spine gilt. Custom chemise and morocco- backed slipcase. First Edition. New York: M.W. Dodd, 1867 Exceedingly rare, Blanck notes having seen only two copies. Only one copy of this title has appeared auction over the last 35 years, selling once in 1976 for $2,500 and selling a second time in 1992 for near three times that amount. Publisher’s address given as 506 Broadway on pictorial title page and 605 Broadway on printed title. Martha Finley is best known for her Elsie Dinsmore series, melodramatic and sentimental fiction focusing on Elsie’s trials and the solace offered her by her religious beliefs. Originally written under the pseudonym “Martha Farquharson” (Gaelic for “Finley”), the series lasted for 28 volumes, published over a period of 38 years. Much has been written about the series, discussing everything from its tear-soaked heroine and her relationship with her father to its enduring popularity during the 19th century. In the early 1900s, Edward Stratemeyer, inspired by the remarkable lifespan of the Elsie series, hit upon the idea of books written by ghostwriters, which allowed him to churn out story upon story to the delight of his readership. It was under his stewardship that Nancy Drew, the Bobbsey Twins, and the Hardy Boys appeared. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 26.

FIRST EDITION WITH SEVERAL LETTERS 239. [Hale, Edward Everett]. The Man Without a Country. 23 pp. (12mo) original printed wrappers. Custom chemise and morocco-backed slipcase. First Edition. Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1865 Two 1-page autograph letters, signed; signed quotation; signed card laid in. Although the story is set in the early 1800s, the story is an allegory about upheaval of the American Civil War and was intended to promote the Union cause. As Hale intended, the story created significant support for the US as a country, identifying the priority of the Union over the individual states, and thus pressuring readers to view Southern secession negatively. It has been adapted for film several times, starting in 1917. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 24. A touch of wear to wrappers; near fine. (500/800)

Boston: James R. Osgood and Company, 1880 Hale is best known as the author of a series of stories about a family named Peterkin, the first of which appeared in 1867 in the magazine Our Young Folks (later St. Nicholas Magazine). The series continued for nine years, and made the Peterkins a household name. The Peterkin Papers is a book-length collection of humorous stories and is her best-known work. The Peterkins are a lovable but comically inept family with ingenuity, logic, resourcefulness, and energy—but not common sense. In this and later works, she helped break new ground in children’s literature by writing stories to amuse young people rather than instruct or uplift them. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 52.

Jackson was an activist dedicated to improving United States government treatment of Native Americans. She gained the widest public with her novel Ramona, dramatizing the ill treatment by the United States government of Native Americans in Southern California. Ramona achieved rapid success, although the public has responded to the novel more as a romantic love story than as a tract of political reform. Having had many editions, Ramona is still in print. The novel of Ramona was adapted as a play and for three films. Encouraged by the popularity of her book, Lot 253 Jackson planned to write a children’s story about Indian issues, but less than a year after the publication of Ramona, she died of cancer in San Francisco, California.

She is best known for her thirteen book series beginning with The Little Colonel, although she wrote over forty books in all.

In 1935, Twentieth Century Fox released “The Little Colonel,” a film directed by David Butler, with Shirley Temple playing the part of the Little Colonel, a role well suited to her.

AN IMPORTANT LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR OF LASSIE 268. Knight, Eric. Typed Letter, signed regarding the writing of Lassie. Typed Letter, signed. Single sheet, approximately 11x8½. Pleasant Valley, PA: Oct. 12, 1940 Knight relates to a fan his philosophy in writing Lassie: “The important thing, I thought, in writing LASSIE was to write a juvenile book but with adult standards. To do that, you must pay great attention to a sort of truth --- a literary truth....Thus it seemed to me that the problem in LASSIE lay not only in making it a story of a dog---the people who own it, the kind of lives they lead, the circumstances that really affect them, their senses of honor and decency and truth and propriety. The next thing was the conclusion that often it is not the need of a boy for a dog that matters half as much as the need of an animal for the one who is its master. A dog has certain rights in a household. If you get a dog, you automatically owe it care, attention, respect and affection, and it has a right to demand them.” Holes from prior placement in a 3-ring binder along both edges, creased from folding, some wear at edges; very good.

Page 63 277. May, Sophie [pseud. of Rebecca Sophia Clarke]. Dotty Dimple. 176 pp. Frontispiece and two plates. (12mo) original blindstamped brown cloth, spine gilt. First Edition. Boston: Lee and Shepard, 1865 Small card, signed by the author, laid in. Dotty Dimple at Her Grandmothers was first published in 1868. It is the first book in the “Dotty Dimple” series. This series of books picks up where the “Little Prudy” series ends, and concentrates on the youngest of the three Parlin girls, Alice, otherwise known as “Dotty Dimple”. May’s earliest successes and greatest fame came from the Little Prudy series and, later, from its offspring, including Dotty Dimple. All of these series were for younger readers and were episodic fiction, telling the adventures of several young children. Central characters were often related to characters in other series, so that the reader found Flyaway, Little Prudy, and Dotty Dimple appearing not only in the series which bore their names, but also in most of the other series. Little Prudy and Sophie May’s other series were much loved and often reprinted--from their first appearance in the late 1800s through the early 1900s. Indeed, Little Prudy and the other series were still in print in 1912, almost fifty years after the original publication of the first three volumes. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 23.

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1909 John Muir’s true story of what happened on an Alaskan glacier with a dog named Stickeen, is one of Muir’s best-known writings. In 1880, Muir made a trip to Alaska with a friend’s dog, Stickeen, exploring Brady Glacier which empties into Taylor Bay in what is now Glacier Bay National Park. Stickeen has been ranked as a classic dog story since its publication. Muir wrote, “I have known many dogs, and many a story I could tell of their wisdom and devotion; but to none do I owe so much as to Stickeen. Our storm-battle for life brought him to light, and through him as through a window I have ever since been looking with deeper sympathy into all my fellow mortals.” Extremely rare in the original dust jacket.

With the original mailing envelope. Pier is best remembered for his stories of Harvard University where he was an English professor for several years. Arthur Stanwood Pier graduated from St. Paul’s College in 1890, but, being only 16 years old at the time and judged too young for immediate entry to college, spent an addition-

Page 68 al postgraduate year at the school. He entered Harvard in 1891. Pier’s first book, an underrated novel of Cambridge life in the “aesthetic” 1890s, was The Pedagogues (1899), which took as its setting the Harvard Summer School. The Boys of St. Timothy’s, the first of his boarding school stories, followed five years later. St. Timothy’s, a lightly fictionalized version of St. Paul’s School, would be the setting of eleven more Arthur Stanwood Pier books, among them several classics of the turn-of-the-century school story genre.

In 1913, it ranked eighth among bestselling novels in the United States, second in 1914, and fourth in 1915 (it went through forty-seven printings between 1915 and 1920). It became a classic of children’s literature, with the title character’s name becoming a popular term for someone with the same optimistic outlook. Pollyanna was adapted for Broadway in a production starring Helen Hayes in 1916 and then into a motion picture starring Mary Pickford (“America’s Sweetheart”) in 1920. The 1960 Disney version made a star of Hayley Mills and is still popular today. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 131. A bit of light wear; near fine. (300/500)

Boston: Estes & Lauriat, 1891 First state with J.S. Cushing and Berwick & Smith imprints on copyright page. One page autograph letter, signed, from the author to a collector laid in. Richards was the daughter of Julia Ward Howe, author of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”, and Samuel Gridley Howe, a social reformer who founded the Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind in 1832. Howe’s star pupil, and Laura’s namesake, was Laura Bridgman, a child who had been left blind and deaf by scarlet fever at age two. When Bridgman was seven, Howe met her and brought her to Perkins, where she became the first blind and deaf person to learn language and “finger spell.” (Another Perkins student, Anne Sullivan, later taught Helen Keller.) Richards also penned the widely read Hildegard and Three Margarets series, and in 1915 with her sister, Maud Howe Eliot, wrote the biography of her mother Julia Ward Howe, 1819 – 1910 for which they received the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1917. In 1936, Captain January was made into an immensely popular movie starring Shirley Temple. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 94.

Page 71 WITH A LONG INSCRIPTION FROM THE AUTHOR 317. Saunders, Marshall. Beautiful Joe: An Autobiography. 304 pp. Frontispiece and 5 inserted plates. (8vo) original blue cloth stamped in gilt. First Edition. Philadelphia: Charles H. Banes, 1894 Later printing with variant Banes imprint on title page and Hezekiah Butterworth identified as “of Youth’s Companion” on title page, no notice of American Humane Society Competition on p.4 and with frontispiece of the author and begging dog. This copy with a long inscription by the author, dated April 23, 1942, relating the circumstances from which the inspiration for the story arose. The real Beautiful Joe was an Airedale-type dog. He was described as likely being part bull terrier and part fox terrier. He was originally owned by a local Meaford man, who abused the dog to the point of near death, and even cut off his ears and tail. Walter Moore, father of Louise Moore, rescued the dog in 1890 from what likely would have been a violent death. In 1892, Margaret Marshall Saunders (1861–1947), first learned about Beautiful Joe when she visited her brother and his Lot 317 wife, Louise Moore. Saunders was so touched by Joe’s story that she wrote a novel-length, fictionalized, autobiographical version of it, entitled Beautiful Joe. Margaret relocated the story to a small town in Maine and changed the family’s name to Morris. She submitted it to a literary contest sponsored by the American Humane Education Society. She won the contest, but refused the cash award that went with winning, because it required that she relinquish the publishing rights. After a prolonged struggle to find a publisher, the book was first published by Charles Banes in 1893. By 1900, over 800,000 copies sold in the U.S., 40,000 in and 100,000 in the United Kingdom. Saunders chose to write Beautiful Joe as an “autobiography” and tell the story from Beautiful Joe’s viewpoint, and in her imagined version of Beautiful Joe’s own words. While it was not the first book to tell a story from an animal’s viewpoint – Black Beauty by Anna Sewell was already on its way to becoming classic literature by then – it was still an uncommon narrative device. Saunders believed that she would not be taken seriously as a writer using the obviously female name Margaret Saunders, so she wrote using the variant name Marshall Saunders. Beautiful Joe was chosen as one of the 10 best children’s books in Canada, and for more than a century Margaret Marshall has been one of Canada’s best known writers of children’s stories. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 100. Some light wear; hinges starting; very good. (1000/1500)

First state of binding with ampersand in publisher’s monogram on front cover in gilt. Sidney’s children’s stories did not grow out of her actual childhood like Louisa May Alcott’s or from the depths of her heart and soul as did Hawthorne’s; they were products of her vivid imagination. She brought forth the popular adventures of “The Little Peppers”, a family of five children prone to mischief but most responsive to kindness and good deeds. Eleven “Pepper” books were written at The Wayside, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s former home. Her first novel The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew was an instant success. The Pepper books were the inspiration for a brief series of feature films produced by Columbia Pictures in 1939-40. The four films were vehicles for Columbia’s juvenile star Edith Fellows, who played Polly. Peter Parley to Penrod, page 54.

Page 77 340.  Trowbridge, J[ohn] T[ownsend]. Cudjo’s Cave. 504 pp. Illustrated half-title inserted. (8vo) original brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Custom chemise and cloth slipcase. First Edition. Boston: J.E. Tilton and Company, 1864 Rare first state with “L’Envoy” listed correctly at page 503 in the table of contents. An autograph note, signed, from the author laid in along with a cabinet card photograph of the author. This popular, melodramatic antislavery novel is set at the beginning of the Civil War in Tennessee and concerns a group of abolitionist and Union sympathizers who are threatened by slaveholders and hide in a wilderness cave where they meet two escaped slaves. They are all attacked by the angry Confederates, and the survivors flee to Ohio. John Townsend Trowbridge, a friend of Mark Twain and Walt Whitman, possessed a fine literary skill and storytelling ability. He artfully mapped out many of the cultural and political tensions regarding the issues of slavery and secession, giving the reader access to the popular sentiments of the period. More important, he offered a rare 19th-century depiction of a character of full African descent as a strong, intelligent leader. Released to popular acclaim in the summer of 1863, this novel was designed to awaken patriotism in northern citizens wearied by the losses of conflict and to refocus attention on the moral purposes of the war—emancipation of the slaves. Like Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and The Man Without a Country, this stimulating story contributed to the success of the Union war effort. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 20. Spine faded, leaning, some edge wear, rear hinge cracked; light foxing; very good. (300/500)

Page 79 348. Wetherell, Elizabeth [pseud. Susan Warner]. The Wide, Wide World. 2 volumes. iv, (9)-360; iv, (3)-330 pp. (8vo) original green cloth, publisher’s emblem in blind at center of covers, spines lettered and decorated in gilt. Custom chemises and two compartment morocco-backed slipcase. First Edition. New York: George P. Putnam, 1851 First issue, with page number in the wrong corner of the page at Vol. 1, p. 157 & Vol. 2, p. 34. One of the most widely read American novels of the nineteenth-century, The Wide, Wide World established Susan Warner as the nation’s preeminent sentimental novelist. Bearing Warner’s pseudonym Elizabeth Wetherell, the novel spawned a series of similar works published by “the author of The Wide, Wide World,” a contrivance that would allowed Warner, as one of America’s first bestselling writers, to largely maintain her anonymity. Noted for its accurate portrayal of the social limitations imposed upon nineteenth-century women, The Wide, Wide World traces the maturation of a young girl, Ellen Montgomery, from childhood to adolescence. The work is considered one of the earliest examples of the domestic novel—a genre focused on the lives of ordinary women -- that became extremely fashionable after 1850. Frequently dismissed by twentieth-century critics as overly sentimental, the novel was “rediscovered” more than a century after its Lot 348 first publication by feminist scholars who see it as a fine example of popular literature written by women. The Wide, Wide World remained in print for almost 80 years and was widely translated. In 1987, after decades of public neglect, the novel was reissued by the Feminist Press in an enlarged edition that featured a concluding chapter written by Warner but dropped by her original publisher. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 4. Slight lean to spine, light wear; foxing; very good. (1000/1500)

ALL SALES HELD BY PBA GALLERIES ARE CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2328 OF THE COMMERCIAL CODE AND SECTION 535 OF THE PENAL CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA CONSIGNING BOOKS TO PBA GALLERIES The first step in consigning to PBA is to contact the Galleries, either by phone, fax, email or letter. It can then be determined whether the item or items under consideration would do well at auction. Following this, arrangements can be made for the delivery of the material to PBA. In the case of large consignments or libraries, a member of the staff may be able to view the books on location, and make arrangements for its transportation to PBA Galleries. Because of the costs involved, PBA discourages consignments with a total value of less than $1500. The frequency of auctions, and variety of subject matter, allows PBA Galleries to ensure quick turn-around time for items consigned. Books can appear at auction as quickly as 30 days and generally not more than 90 days following consignment. Commissions vary between 10% and 15%, depending on the selling price of an item.These commissions encompass all related costs including insurance, storage, cataloguing, illustrations, etc., except shipping. Payment is sent within 20 banking days of an auction.
