1st Edition Thus 1938 with wood engravings by Gertrude Hermes. Ownership Inscription of Susan Connely and a presentation inscription of Henry Williamson to her. A few annotation in the hand of Williamson. Dated 1946. When HW first returned to Georgeham in October 1946 after his breakup of this marriage he stayed for a short while with his friends Mike and Margery Mitchell in a villagenear HW's Field at Ox's Cross and the woods of nearby Spreacombe. At this point HW fell in love with Susan Connely, the sixteen-year-old step-daughter of his friend Malcolm Elwin, who was married to Eve Connely and living by courtesy of a friend at Underborough at Westward Ho! (It was Elwin who was the key to the Chronicle being published by Macdonald.) That potential 'Barleybright' relationship was, however, terminated very firmly by the Elwins (mainly by Eve) to HW's inevitable anguish. Susan plays an important role in The Gale of the World the final volume in the Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight. From the The Hugoe Matthews collection. Hugoe Matthews (1938-2011) was an authority on the Victorian novelist and nature writer Richard Jefferies, of whose works he created probably the finest collection in private hands. In collaboration with George Miller, Matthews wrote the definitive bibliography of Jefferies’ works, published by Scolar Press in 1993 and served for many years as President of the Richard Jefferies Society. The book is good++ and bright. Edges lightly rubbed. Age toned. Contents good. Pages age toned. More images can be taken upon request. Ref A1234.…
