Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Derek Collard (illustrator). 172, [4] pages. Illustrations. This is a retelling of Chinese fold Takes that span 4,000 years of that country's history. Jo Manton was married to Robert Gittings. Robert William Victor Gittings CBE (1 February 1911 18 February 1992), was an English writer, biographer, BBC Radio producer, playwright and poet. In 1978, he was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for The Older Hardy. In 1940. he took a job with BBC Radio as a producer and writer, remaining with the Corporation twenty-three years. He made broadcasts for schools, dramatizations of history and literary programs, and contributed to radio programs such as Poets and Poetry, World History Series, Poetry Now, and The World of Books. His first major book, Wentworth Place (1950), was well reviewed. History and poetry combined in him into the ability to bring the past to life. In all, he published twelve volumes of poetry. In 1954, his biography John Keats: the Living Year was published, to be followed in 1956 by The Mask of Keats, and in 1960 by Shakespeare's Rival. His John Keats was awarded the W. H. Smith Literary Award, and he also wrote scholarly studies of Thomas Hardy: The Young Thomas Hardy, The Older Hardy and (with his wife, Jo Manton) The Second Mrs. Hardy. As a playwright, Gittings specialized in radio drama, This Tower my Prison and Conflict at Canterbury for the Canterbury Festival. Introducing Thomas Hardy, a double act with Frances Horovitz, was performed from 1971 until 1978, With Jo Manton, he wrote Dorothy Wordsworth and the same year published his last book of verse, People, Places, Personal. Derek Collard (1941-2003) was a British illustrator who developed a singular style that bridged traditional book arts and contemporary graphic design. After studying at London's Central School of Art and Design, Collard established himself as one of the foremost interpreters of folklore and historical subjects during the 1970s-90s. His distinctive approach combined rigorous attention to archaeological and costume accuracy with expressive linework influenced by early woodcut traditions. Collard's notable collaborations included illustrations for Manton;s The Flying Horses, Leon Garfield's historical novels and Richard Adams' Tales from Watership Down. His mastery of medieval illumination techniques particularly suited him to mythic material, evident in this 1985 collection where Celtic knotwork motifs subtly enhance the illustrations. Unlike many fantasy illustrators of his era, Collard presented the strangeness and occasional brutality of folk narratives with unflinching honestya quality that made him the ideal visual partner for unsanitized retellings. These Chinese stories have been written for all who feel themselves drawn to distant times and places, yet hope to find when they arrive there not only fantasy but a real world, with real men, women and children. The stories are all taken from translations of Chinese history and literature; the dialogue and poems often embody and give substance to ancient Chinese sayings. They range in time from the earliest popular legends, which deal with the origins of the universe, to a twentieth-century account of the Revolution. There is a haunting charm, but also a deep and simple humanity in this memorable collection. Many of the traditional Chinese legends lead the reader into an imaginative landscape under the rule of the Dragon Throne, where quince and willow trees grow along the river banks, pavilions overlook a prospect of emerald meadows and bamboo plantations, and where Tartar horsemen ride down from the hills with the swiftness of the wind. The stories in The Flying Horses are like a piece of embroidery, which preserves in its pattern all the colors and textures of life in China. First Printing [Stated] thus [Several stories reprinted from The Peach Blossom Forest published by the Oxford University Press in 1951].

This biography details the life of Scotland's national bard. Robert Burns (1759-1796) was one of the chief poets of Romanticism - as well as an accomplished lyricist - and though much of his work was heavily influenced by Scottish folk sources, he would achieve worldwide renown. Burns fame as poet happened almost by accident. He had his first collection - Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish dialect - published essentially to finance a move to Jamaica, where he planned to continue working as a farmer. Poems, however, became an immense success and Burns was fortunately able to continue working as a writer for the rest of his life. John Gibson Lockhart (1794-1854) was a Scottish writer and editor. He is best known as the author of a biography of his father-in-law Sir Walter Scott, which has been called the second most admirable in the English language, after Boswell's Life of Johnson. In 1828 he published his somewhat controversial Life of Robert Burns. George Bayntun (1873-1940) was the founder of Bayntun Bindery (1894) dedicated to using traditional hand-crafted techniques and high-quality materials. "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" (Princeton). Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939, transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery," which is still in existence and family owned. Although named after the English miniaturist Richard Cosway (1742-1821), the desirable "Cosway Binding" with its jewel-like portrait miniature set into a fine binding was first developed at the turn of the century by J.H. Stonehouse, director of London's Henry Sotheran Booksellers. Their miniatures were painstakingly crafted by the talented painter Miss C. B. Currie (1849-1940). As the style grew in popularity, other publishing houses quickly began to reproduce this technique-each developing their own desirable take on the aesthetic-referred to as "Cosway style.". Fine.
