The editor of this wide ranging anthology has been collecting material for this book for 30 years, and has set the age limit of its authors at 16. George Orwell as an imperialist patriot, Virginia Woolf making fun of feminism and T.S. Eliot as the author of an adventure story set in the South Seas are some of the literary surprises. There are drawings by Bernard Shaw, David Jones and Anthony Powell as well as illustrated short stories by Wyndham Lewis and Evelyn Waugh, which have never appeared before. H.G. Wells's novel 'The Desert Daisy' is printed here in full and there is an extract from 'Folthy Lucre' by Beryl Bainbridge - both completed when they were 13 years old. Included also are unpublished poems by Katherine Mansfield, Robert Graves, Kathleen Raine and Thomas Keneally. **** NOT EX LIB **** 24 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

The boards are quite clean with just some light marks commensurate with age and handling. Some fraying to the cloth at the top of the spine. No other tears or creasing. No bumps. Corners slightly rubbed and softened. There is a slight forward reading lean to the binding. No reading creases to the spine. Page block edges clean without any foxing. Internally the book is also very good, with no ownership inscriptions, but with an attractive decorative period - 'Great School Library' - bookplate to the front pastedown. There is slight browning to the front pastedown, but the interior pages are nice and clean, without any foxing. No creases or tears. No dustwrapper. ***205mm x 145mm. 256 pages. ***'I regard this book rather as a premature memorial, like a family photograph album, a gathering of the staid and unloved hovering, in the most absurd headgear, unconsciously "upon the brink" and occasionally among them, in a deerstalker cap or hobble skirt, somebody who has betrayed one's natural distrust of human nature, somebody one has loved and will miss. Like the family album, this book will, I hope, be superficially more funny than tragic, for so odd a system of education does not demand a pompous memorial.' (Quote taken from the Editor's Preface) ***First impression of the true first edition of this pre-war Graham Greene. The first book edited by Greene, of which 1,517 copies were printed (Wobbe A7) and uncommon. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
