The book is noted for being a collaboration between Steen and her own lover, the acclaimed artist William Nicholson - she would later go on to write Nicholson's biography. The pair had met in Andalucia in May 1935, and by June were living together at Nicholson's mews studio in London. Nicholson was at the time separated from his wife, and the pair remained close companions for the remainder of Nicholson's life. Steen was a prolific writer of over 40 novels over the course of her life, but this remains only her second of four biographies which she would write in her life. Mary Robinson was an 18th century English actress who was also known as 'Perdita' for her role in the 1779 adaptation of Shakespeare's 'The Winter's Tale'. Steen would have seen much of herself in Robinson - both of them being teachers, actresses, and novel writers. Robinson was also the first public mistress of King George IV while he was Prince of Wales. A very scarce, particularly so with the striking wrapper in such collectible condition.

A superlative and early American printing of one of the most enduring children's books in the English language which just celebrated its hundredth anniversary last year. Harper's Bazaar first commissioned the story in 1921 from Margery Williams Bianco, at the time a stalled author of adult fiction who hadn't published a work in eight years. What Williams Bianco produced was unlike anything she had written before, the story of a boy and his Velveteen Rabbit whose fate from beloved toy to real rabbit serves as an allegory for the difficult passage of childhood to adulthood (minus being thrown in a rubbish sack). Fittingly, Williams Bianco's daughter the child prodigy Pamela Bianco provided the illustrations for the Harper's Bazaar appearance, though the first published appearance of the story in book form made use of illustrations by the more established and renowned painter and printmaker William Nicholson. Early printings in such fine condition exceedingly hard to come by, this one as splendid as a velveteen rabbit on Christmas morning.
