First Edition
First editions, first impressions, of the author's first four children's books. Salkey (1928-1995) was a lynchpin figure in the first wave of post-war Caribbean writers who settled and worked in London. Hurricane, the first in the disaster quartet, was awarded a Deutscher Kinderbuchpreis. The books "are neither guides for dealing with disaster. nor are they meant in any way as wilderness survival stories. Instead, they work as a unit to comment on Jamaicans' varied response to disaster, and how some will help the young country (Jamaica achieved independence in 1962) and the Jamaican immigrants to Britain, and some will not" (Sands-O'Connor, p. 144). Salkey moved to Britain in 1952 to pursue a literary career. "Quietly persuasive, with a gift for friendship and an encyclopaedic memory for people, Salkey with his wife Pat made their Bayswater flat a meeting point for immigrant authors and artists in London" (ODNB). As the main presenter and writer-in-residence at the BBC's World Service, he "chivvied, cajoled, gently chastised, inspired, and schooled" aspiring and established authors to produce new work for the Caribbean Voices programme over which he often presided (Hall). Stuart Hall, "Obituary: Andrew Salkey", Independent, April 1995; Karen Sands-O'Connor, Soon Come Home to This Island, 2008. Four vols, octavo. Hurricane, Drought, and Riot in original red cloth, spines lettered in silver, Earthquake in original orange cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jackets. Extremities of Earthquake and Drought a touch rubbed, spine ends and corners of Earthquake lightly bumped, contents of Drought and edges of Riot a little foxed. A sharp, near-fine set in jackets, spine ends and corners occasionally nicked, Earthquake and Drought price-clipped and a little creased, short closed tear to foot of rear panel of Riot, faint foxing to front fold, all fresh and very bright.
