Cloth. Condition: Very Good ++. 1st Edition. 1st Edition 1946.From the library of Siegfried Sassoon, by Patrick Anthony Lawlor OBE 1893-1979, published in 1946 by The Beltane Book Bureau and limited to 1,000 copies. No dust jacket. Lawlor inscribed the book to Sassoon on the front endpaper: 'For Siegfried Sassoon from an admirer P.A. Lawlor, Wellington, New Zealand, 19-1-50'. From the Library of Siegfried Sassoon and Sold by Sotheby's in 1991. It carries the Sotheby's monogram sticker inside the front cover to show it is from Sassoon's own library. Lawlor was a New Zealand journalist, editor, bibliophile, writer and Catholic layman. He was born and died in Wellington, New Zealand. Lawlor was rejected for military service during the First World War, but in 1915 he joined the army stores staff. In 1916 he became chief reporter on the Hawke's Bay Herald in Napier. He returned to Wellington in 1917 to become a reporter in the parliamentary press gallery and an assistant sub-editor on the New Zealand Times. He became chief sub-editor of New Zealand Truth in 1920, also editing Aussie, an Australasian soldiers' magazine, and founding the New Zealand Artists' Annual in 1926 and the Ex Libris Society in 1930. The 1930s saw his most serious attempts to achieve literary recognition, with his two 'Templemore' novels, The House of Templemore (1938) and Daniel Mahoney's Secret: being a new chapter in the House of Templemore (1939). His only other novel, The Mystery of Maata (1946), is based on the early life of Katherine Mansfield. In 1934 Lawlor was the driving force behind the foundation of PEN in New Zealand, a society that focuses largely on freedom of expression work, becoming its president in 1948-9. Lawlor's strong sense of the importance of his Catholic faith was reflected in his lifelong prominence in church activities and devotions. He was active in parish affairs at St Mary of the Angels Church and was a member of the Holy Family Confraternity of the Redemptorist community which met at St Gerard's Monastery. He worked for the Catholic Writers' Movement of New Zealand from its foundation in 1940 and was elected to the Gallery of Living Catholic Authors (USA). Perhaps his most important lay service to the church was his work as honorary organiser of the fund-raising street appeals for Our Lady's Homes of Compassion, which were to raise almost £200,000 over the 20 years after the Second World War.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good ++. First Edition. 1st Edition 1949. This book once belonged to Siegfried Sassoon and is inscribed to him by the author and dated 1940. Also with the book is a two-sided letter to Sassoon written by the author discussing various authors dated 1940. Herbert Edward Palmer 1880-1961, is a largely forgotten poet of the mid-20th century. But his early books were published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at their Hogarth Press, his work was admired by Robert Graves, and his prophetic verse, concerned with the mythic forces of good and evil, was compared to that of William Blake.Palmer was born in the little Lincolnshire town of Market Rasen on 10 February 1880. He went to university in Birmingham and Bonn and made his living in his twenties and thirties by teaching, tutoring and lecturing, especially for the Workers' Educational Association. In 1921 he took up journalism and other writing full time: besides his poetry, he edited anthologies, published a book on teaching English, and undertook some translations. The book is in very good, clean condition and still carries the original dustjacket which is unusual in that it is transparent, except for the flaps which carry the usual printing.

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 war 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.

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. Author 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).
