Synopsis: A medieval tale of fantasy and adventure, the novel explores themes of peacemaking and respect for indigenous peoples and the environment. Murdoch's Tale tells the story of Corwin, who, as a small child witnessed the massacre of his village during the Border Wars between England and Scotland. In the time of Richard Lionheart, during the bloody Border Wars between England and Scotland, Tovan, a Faer (or "Faery," as we Quetans call them) rescues the child Corwin from the massacre of his village. Tormented by recurring nightmares of that day, Corwin struggles to answer Tovan's question, "Why do you Quetan do this?" His quest is perhaps a hopeless one: to end war, so that no child will ever again have to endure such trauma. Signed by Author(s).

One of 750 numbered sets with an original manuscript page bound into the first volume, this is number 589. A portion of the original manuscript of The Mountains of California, the manuscript page describes, in part, Muir's experience climbing Mt. Langley in 1871 (published in part as last paragraph on pp. 76 in Vol. IV): ".you see stretching from the spurs of Ritter a row of exceedingly sharp and slender spires in the foreground rising to a height of about a thousand feet from a series of short glaciers that lean back against their bases." Edited by William Frederic Badà . In fine condition. An exceptional example. John Muir was an influential Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books describing his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada, have been read by millions. His activism has helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and many other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is a prominent American conservation organization. The 211-mile John Muir Trail, a hiking trail in the Sierra Nevada, was named in his honor. Other such places include Muir Woods National Monument, Muir Beach, John Muir College, Mount Muir, Camp Muir and Muir Glacier. In Scotland, the John Muir Way, a 130-mile-long route, was named in honor of him. In his later life, Muir devoted most of his time to the preservation of the Western forests. He petitioned the U.S. Congress for the National Park bill that was passed in 1890, establishing Yosemite National Park. The spiritual quality and enthusiasm toward nature expressed in his writings has inspired readers, including presidents and congressmen, to take action to help preserve large nature areas. Today Muir is referred to as the "Father of the National Parks.".

In correspondence with the Houghton Mifflin Company, we learned that The Writings was a publication of the Private Library Department and that no records were available. The set was sold by subscription only. According to the publisher's announcement of the manuscript edition, the first six volumes were to be published in the fall of 1916, and the remaining four volumes would be published as soon as "the work of compilation and editing" could be accomplished. Since A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf, included in volume one, was not published until November, 1916, the six volumes could have been available in December, but it may not have been until early in 1917. Volumes seven and eight were published in 1918; volume nine did not appear until late in 1923, and volume ten in 1924. Correspondence indicates that the war was a deterring factor in the company's publication schedule. Customers were inquiring for the last two volumes as early as 1919 and 1920. A hand-written note (Dr. Bade) on a publisher's announcement indicates that the manuscript edition, issued in a variety of formats, was completely sold.
