Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Henrietta Moraes, queen of Bohemia, reformed drunk, ex-drug addict, model of Francis Bacon and Lucien Freud, and wife of Indian poet, Dom Moraes, has written her extraordinary autobiography. It takes us from her convent girlhood in Peckham Rye to the pubs and jazz clubs of Soho in the 1950s. An habituee of the French pub and the Colony Room, friend to John Minton, George Melly, Francis Wyndham, Bacon, Freud and many more, she leaves Soho and Chelsea for the hippy life in the 1960s. From life in a caravan to a Guinness mansion in Ireland, from LSD to heroin, Henrietta goes from one extreme to another. Finally, she has to come to terms with her alcoholism. Given three months to live, with enormous courage, she gives up the drink and finds a new life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

2pp., foolscap 8vo. In fair condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. A fair copy of a twenty-eight line poem, arranged in seven four-line stanzas. Signed at end 'P. L. | December 1960.' The first stanza reads 'Rain-threaded gull-wheeling bell-clamorous air, | by wind shifted, by smoke lightly weighted, | in which sirens beautifully despair, | no monumnet crumbles uncelebrated,'. The poem ends with a simile of 'Adam when he woke: | stood for a moment as if he had been blind, | and bent suddenly over Eve, and spoke.' There is no indication that the poem has been published. A regular of the Colony Room, Henrietta Moraes was noted for her bohemian and hedonistic lifestyle in the Soho of the 1950s and 1960s. She met Dom Moraes in 1956, and the couple married in 1961, divorcing a few years later.…
