Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition: One of 400 trade copies. Fine in white printed glossy illustrated wraps in a fine light blue illustrated printed dust jacket. UNREAD! Octavo. 105 pages; select and annotated bibliography, and appendices. Four plates including a frontispiece pho…to of King Cedric plus a map & drawing. According to legend, M.P. Shiel's father claimed the tiny uninhabited island in the Caribbean for his son, Matthew Phipps Shiell (later M.P. Shiel), upon his birth. Shiel's father petitioned Queen Victoria for the right to the title King of Redonda, which was granted by the British Colonial Office. M.P. Shiel was purportedly crowned King at the age of 15. In later life, Shiel gave the title to his chief admirer, London poet and editor John Gawsworth (Terence Ian Fytton Armstrong), the biographer of Arthur Machen, who was the realm's Archduke. Since the death of Gawsworth (1912-1970) there have been many claims to the title. In 1988, the London reverend Paul de Fortis established "The Redondan Cultural Foundation". Because of what he viewed as the inaction of the various rival monarchs, de Fortis promoted a new king, Cedric Boston (born on Montserrat in 1960). Boston claimed the Redondan throne in 1984, winning the allegiance of a number of still living Gawsworth's peers. The history of the "Kingdom" of Redonda is shrouded in doubt and legend, and it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. On the question of the Kingdom of Redonda, Jon Wynne-Tyson has written: "The legend is and should remain a pleasing and eccentric fairy tale; a piece of literary mythology to be taken with salt, romantic sighs, appropriate perplexity, some amusement, but without great seriousness. It is, after all, a fantasy." An as new copy of this attractively produced bit of Shiel, Gawsworth, and Arthur Machen connected literary "folderol".

At that time he was welcomed by his fellow writers as "the veteran author of many books whose originality and richness of technique are matched by the variety and daring of his subject matter. His boldness of approach and his intense curiosity concerning man and nature are unequalled in the prose literature of our time." ***The material which has been selected by Lawrence Durrell for this representative anthology traces the main line and principal themes of the "single, endless autobiography" which is Henry Miller's life work. It includes extracts from a dozen different books including several which are still banned in England: Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Sexus and Plexus.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first UK edition in nice collectable condition. An anthology tracing the principal themes of Henry Miller's life work, divided into sections according to the titles; 'Places', 'Stories', 'Literary Essays' and 'Portraits'. Miller contributes a commentary on each essay fitting it into context of his life story. Also includes a chronology of Miller's life, a bibliography and part of an opoen letter protesting the ban of 'Sexus'. Uncommon in this condition now. ***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. FitzClarence (Jacket design) (illustrator).
