Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. SASSOON, Siegfried (1886-1967). The Heart's Journey. London: William Heinemann Ltd., 1927. Limited signed edition. Quarto. Original vellum-backed blue paper-covered boards, spine lettered in gilt on a blue label, preserved in the original printed pap…er dust jacket. One of 590 copies printed, of which 250 were offered for sale in the United Kingdom, signed by Sassoon on the title page. Condition: Near fine in the original dust jacket, the jacket lightly toned with a little wear to the spine and minor rubbing to the extremities. Some foxing and browning to the endpapers and preliminary leaves, the text otherwise clean and fresh. An excellent, well-preserved copy. A finely printed limited edition of Sassoon's sequence of reflective poems, issued at a point when his writing had moved beyond the war poetry on which his reputation had first been established. The Heart's Journey explores themes of memory, spirituality and personal introspection, reflecting the author's transition from the conflict of the First World War towards more personal and philosophical concerns. Produced to a high standard and issued in a comparatively small limitation, copies retaining the original dust jacket are increasingly difficult to find, making this an especially attractive example.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A signed first edition of The Road to Ruin by Siegfried Sassoon, one of the defining literary voices of the First World War and its aftermath. This copy bears a clear and unambiguous author signature in ink, adding a direct and personal connection to a writer whose work reshaped modern wa…r literature. Sassoons poetry and prose stand alongside that of Wilfred Owen and Robert Graves, forming a cornerstone of early 20th-century literary history. Published in 1933, The Road to Ruin reflects Sassoon's later literary development, moving beyond the immediacy of trench poetry into broader reflections on society, conflict, and the moral consequences of war. Signed copies from this period remain highly collectible, particularly when presented in clean, original condition. First Edition. London: Faber & Faber Limited, 1933. First published in November MCMXXXIII stated. Condition; Original publishers red cloth, with some fading to boards and spine as expected. Light wear to extremities. Internally clean and well preserved. Signature clear and strong. A solid and presentable example. Why This Matters; Sassoon occupies a central position in modern literary history as one of the most important war poets and memoirists of the 20th century. Signed material from Sassoon: Provides direct association with a major historical voice Is increasingly sought after by collectors of WWI literature Bridges poetry, history, and personal testimony While not an inscribed or manuscript-heavy example, this is a clean, investment-grade signed first edition, a category that consistently attracts steady demand and liquidity.

Large 8vo., quarter vellum over blue and gold marbled paper-covered boards; spine lettered in gilt; together in the very scarce original glassine wrapper. The lower edge unt…rimmed; lettered in blue, black and red throughout, with decorative initials, as well as title vignette and first initial in 'The Power and the Glory' ("Let there be life") in gold; together with his 1960 poem 'Awaitment' loosely tipped in; The BOOK in excellent near fine condition, lightly rubbed at edges of boards and corners; the glassine WRAPPER chipped and torn with a large portion of loss at head, but seldom found at all. The wrapper is protected in a removable Mylar cover. Limited edition. Number '290' of just 480 copies on W.S.H. handmade paper with hand-lettered initials and gilding by Margaret Adams. Handset in Jan van Krimpen's Romulus Cancelleresca Barstarda and printed during September and October 1960. The binding by George Percival and Rigby Graham. This copy additionally inscribed by Siegfried Sassoon to the front free endpaper : "Father Gerard Sitwell, from [cipher] SS". The recipient was likely Dom Gerard Sitwell, monk of Ampleforth Abbey and editor of the works of medieval mystic writers, who was Master of St Benet's Hall, Oxford from 1947-64. Sassoon lived in Oxford during the inter-war years, and in 1965 received an honorary degree from Oxford University. A collection of poems which include verses penned between 1916 and 1960, thereby representing a broad scope of the writer's literary offerings. They include such verses as 'As I was Walking' (1926), 'Morning Glory' (1916) and 'Nativity' (1925) and many of them reflect his faith - he had in 1957 converted to Catholicism after many years of grappling with his faith and spirituality. Predominantly known today for his war poems, Sassoon continued to write long after the end of the Second World War in 1945. He became increasingly involved in politics and took up a post as literary editor of the socialist newspaper the 'Daily Herald'. He traveled extensively throughout Germany. He began to branch into prose, with 'Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man' appearing in 1928, and 'Memoirs of an Infantry Officer' and 'Sherston's Progress' appearing a few years later, though he continued to write poetry throughout this period, publishing a series of collections throughout the 1920s -1950s. This represents one of his final poetry collections before he passed away in 1967. A beautifully-presented collection of poems, rare indeed inscribed thus, and with the original glassine.

Presentation inscription from the author reads 'Siegfried Sassoon from D.E.', It carries the Sotheby's monogram label as proof that it came from Siegfried Sassoon's own library that was sold by Sotheby's in 1991. Dorothy Easton Jun 1889 - Aug 1991. Autho…r of two novels—Tantalus (1923) and Bid Time Return (1934) a somewhat Brontëan romance. She also wrote a memoir, You Asked Me Why (1936), and a gardening book with the evocative title, Gay Gardening: A Book of Tips for Amateur Gardeners (1932). Tantalus is a story of an account of a clergyman's love-affair with the French governess of his sister-in-law's children. A review at the time of publication states - neither continental nor squalid, at times vividly impressionist, at times tiresomely unconsecutive and obscure, always with a suggestion of mystery and a reserve of emotion. It would be a better book if it disclosed more recognisably and consistently its point of view. It seems to be written through the eyes of a child, a method not without charm, but baffling because of its irresponsibility and its uncertain sense of proportion and direction. Miss Easton aims high, but she draws her bow at a venture, making it hard to tell what her quarry is, and how far her hits are lucky or intentional. novel has a hurried, breathless air : it reads like a translation from the Scandinavian, and particu- larly like a translation of Hans Andersen. It is a strange story with stylish and modernists undertones. Book is very good++ and in bright condition. Contents good. More images can be taken upon request. Ref18034. Signed by Author(s).
