Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'Melvyn Bragg's account of the passionate and painful love affair between the 12th century radical theologian, Peter Abelard, and the brilliant young convent-educated Eloise springs magnificently to life . . . Thrilling.' Piers Plowright, Tablet Paris in 1117. Heloise, a brilliant young scholar, is astonished when the famous, radical philosopher, Peter Abelard, consents to be her tutor. But what starts out as a meeting of minds turns into a passionate, dangerous love affair, which incurs terrible retribution. Nine centuries later, Arthur is in Paris to recreate the extraordinary story of Heloise and Abelard in a novel. To his surprise, his daughter visits and agrees to help, challenging his portraits of a couple who seem often inscrutable, sometimes breathtakingly modern. It soon emerges she is on her own mission to discover more about her parents' fractured relationship - and that Arthur's connection to his subject is more emotional than he cares to admit. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Imagine that Isaac Babel's Cossacks wassail together with Runyonesque Liverpool Jews outside the plate-glass window of a Hampstead caf where a Klezmer band is playing to a packed and tea-drinking congregation of jazzmen, Hasidic scholars, surrealists, old soldiers, and retired strippers; and you have the tone and temperature of this unique and unclassifiable memoir - no, not memoir, more a stream-of-consciousness novella - no, not a novella but a piece of autobiographical fiction - no, not autobiography but a picaresque drama conquered from the unreliable and fertile brain of the eponymous Fastovski. And who is Fastovski? Is he real or invented? Is he perhaps the alter-ego of real-life jazz pianist, Klezmer swinger, big band leader and flaneur, Wallace Fields, who stares at us from the book's frontispiece in shades, Diaghilev coat and moustache, over a cup of strong black coffee? Fastovski's not telling and anyway, who cares. This is a book to be devoured, disseminated, denounced, and delighted in. It belongs to all who think art and life are one and that the Arch-Savant of Canterbury, Issy Bonn, Rashid the Manic Berber Chef of NW3, and Mrs Karl Popper, have an equal claim on history. I haven't had such a good time since I shared Sir Ralph Richardson's motorbike with a parrot and a striking grandmother clock. Piers Plowright August 2008 Imagine that Isaac Babel's Cossacks wassail together with Runyonesque Liverpool Jews outside the plate-glass window of a Hampstead cafe where a Klezmer band is playing to a packed and tea-drinking congregation of jazzmen, Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. Hardback in dustwrapper. 23 × 15cm, 221pp. Signed and dedicated by Miriam Howard-Wright to the title page. She has signed the book to Piers Plowright, a British radio producer. From the dustwrapper, "Out of the darkness, out of the light. Ghosts have been with us in one form or another since time began - in the flesh, in the spirit, or in the mind's eye. Here is a book that will challenge those who treat ghost stories with a mixture of scepticism and disbelief. Miriam Howard-Wright has collected the true-life experiences of those who have seen, heard or felt the presence of the unknown. Carefully researched and recorded with humour and horror, they will surely make the reader pause at the fleeting shadow, hesitate on the threshold of the darkened room, and search for the light." Condition: A good plus copy. There is foxing to the pages' top edge but the book is otherwise clean with secure binding. Signed by Author(s).

Manuscript / Paper Collectible Signed
Sarah Shannon (married name Sarah Dickinson) was a fine poet in her own right (see the blurb quoted in Item One below), and it is unfortunate that she allowed herself to be eclipsed by her husband the self-styled poet and impresario of poetry , Patric Dickinson. He occupied a central position in the cultural landscape of post-war Britain. As an editor and broadcaster he worked with poets such as Dylan Thomas, Cecil Day Lewis and Roy Campbell, actresses Flora Robson, Peggy Ashcroft and Jill Balcon, and actors Robert Donat, Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud. See John Mole s obituary in the Independent, 31 January 1994. These five items come from the papers of Dickinson s mistress Sarah Emmeline Hamilton. (PD s extraordinary correspondence with Hamilton, including 171 original and mostly-unpublished poems, 474 autograph letters and 349 post cards, is offered separately, and includes more letters from Shannon to Hamilton, along with Piers Plowright s funeral address for Shannon). ONE: Copy of The Lightning-Struck Tower . 64 pp, 8vo. In red cloth in brown and black dustwrapper. In fair condition, lightly aged, in worn and aged dustwrapper. Inscribed on front free endpaper: for Sarah - / with / my / love - / S. S. / 2. 3. 4 [2 March 1964?] . Blurb: During the last six years Sheila Shannon has worked in close association with the late W. J. Turner during his editorship of the well-known Britain in Pictures series and, more recently, co-edited with him the series of illustrated anthologies called New Excursions into English Poetry. / For some years she was poetry reviewer for the Spectator in which paper many of these poems first appeared; others have been printed in various periodicals and some have been broadcast in Patric Dickinson s programmes of New Poems. TWO: ALS (19 February 1965): Air Mail letter from Sheila Dickinson / 38 Church Square / Rye, Sussex / England. Addressed to: Miss Sarah Hamilton / The Swiss Farm Excelsior / Frausch Hoek / CAPE / South Africa - . 2pp, 12mo. A long letter, expressing concern about Hamilton s health and mood on her long trip. She has gone from Rome and needs to see a TOP TONSILS EXPERT . She gives home news and signs Sheila . THREE: ALS ( 16 June 1994): 2pp, foolscap 8vo. To Darling Sarah and signed Sheila . The greater part of the letter describes PD s memorial service: David [their son] & Ginny [his wife] & I all felt that the gathering had turned out exactly as we had hoped - & perhaps even better - I was apprehensive beforehand - but so many people came, of all ages & interests, & responded so readily & warmly that I felt there was a happy feeling & that, as at Charing, it was right for Patric - I thought David was absolutely wonderful & I know how very very difficult he found it was to do - & yet he did it with all the tenderness and wit & honesty which must go with anything said about Patric . She also praises the BBC producer Piers Plowright, and the two readers of PD s poetry Elizabeth Bell and Ronald [Pickup] . FOUR: Printed keepsake on light-blue card of poem 'HEN BLACKBIRD' ('It seems I have a faculty / For rescuing birds') by 'P.D. printed on one side. On the reverse, dated by Hamilton to 1998, is the following in Sheila Dickinson s autograph: 'for / Daphne & Sarah / to bring you my fondest wishes for Christmas - / & with my love - / Sheila.' FIVE: Printed keepsake, on light-green card with the poem 'Often in Dreams' ('Often in dreams I wander / Through splendid cities that seem') by 'P.D.' printed on one side. On the reverse, in Sheila Shannon's hand, 'for Daphne and Sarah - with my love & all very best wishes for Christmas and hopes for a much better and less troubled New Year. / Sheila - / Patric's dreams often became poems & I chose this one because I remember him waking up & telling it to me. It had made him happy - / S.'.
