Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Some light spotting of free endpapers; small (closed) tear in dustwrapper at top of front panel. Inscribed by the author, "Ben Evan Owen gratefully for his encouragement and patience from the beginning . . ."; signed additionally by him on the title-page; and wi…th, loosely inserted, Owen's archive of correspondence from the author: 17 autograph letters signed (some stapled at the corner), six typed letters signed (some stapled at the corner, several aerogrammes, stamped and franked), and one autograph postcard signed (stamped and franked) (addressed variously "Dear Mr Owen", "My dear Evan", "My dear Ben", "Dearest Ben", signed "Gabriel Fielding", "Gabriel F", "Gabriel", "Alan Gabriel", "Alan"), together with one typed letter signed from the author's wife, Edwina Barnsley, with his autograph postscript signed: 85pp. 8vo &c, Maidstone, Buffalo and Pullman, November 1958-February [1972]. Alan Gabriel Barnsley (1916-1986) published his first novel, The Frog Prince and Other Poems, with the same press, the Hand and Flower Press, and in the same year, 1952, as his friend Muriel Spark published her first book of poems, The Fanfarlo and Other Verse. Hutchinson published his second book and first novel, Brotherly Love, under the pseudonym Gabriel Fielding, in 1954 - the year in which he and his wife, Edwina ("Dina"), were received into the Roman Catholic Church, as too was Spark, of whose first novel, The Comforters (1957), they were the co-dedicatees. Like Spark, he was encouraged in his early days by another Catholic convert, Graham Greene. A GP, Barnsley gave up medicine for literature in 1966 - by which time he had fallen out with Spark irrevocably. This is a revealing archive of one of the then "coming" Catholic writers. The Birthday King was the author's breakthrough novel, winner of the W.H. Smith Prize and the Thomas More Medal. "Following the publication of his novels in America," declares its dustwrapper blurb, "Gabriel Fielding has been increasingly noted as one of the most important of the contemporary English novelists. Time magazine has described him as 'one of the most skilful novelists at present writing in English.'" Three years later, Fielding would forsake his medical career on becoming author-in-residence for a year at Washington State University in Pullman; he carried on teaching there until his retirement in 1981. He first wrote to Owen after he reviewed Eight Days (1958) for The Oxford Mail - "You caught my purpose more accurately than anyone who has so far been interested in the book. I would love to know how you did it." He deplores the state of London reviewing: "I saw Muriel Spark on Monday," he writes (16 November 1960), "and she confirmed all you said about metropolitan criticism." As a sympathetic critic, Owen became a sort of perfect correspondent. On 15 February 1962, he again drops the name of Muriel Spark, who had reached a new height of fame with the publication of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. They had first met in 1954, when Spark had taken refuge in Kent, at Aylesford Priory and then in a cottage by Allington Castle, both close to Maidstone, to work on The Comforters. "I[']ve been seeing a lot of our Muriel (Spark) who is Felicity's Godmother," he writes. "Do you read her books? I quaff them like a mackerel after whitebait - and have an unique signed collection." Hubris! A week later, on 22 February, he and Spark fell out irreparably. Fielding, as Spark's biographer Martin Stannard recounts, turned up unannounced in London to seek her advice on whether he should give up medicine for full-time writing. She was at the hairdresser's and told him to go away. Owen reviewed The Birthday King for The Oxford Mail: "For the first time in a decade of reviewing," he wrote, "I feel justified in prophesying that a new novel will be judged by posterity as one of the great books of our time." His quote went on the jacket of the US edition. Inscribed by Author(s).
