Add to basketRevised edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author to E. E. Cummings's wife, Marion Morehouse, on the front free endpaper, "For Marion, a quarter century of affection and loyalty is inscribed here, Charles". The friendship between Charles Norman (c.1904-1996) and Cummings began in 1925 when Norman moved into Number Four Patchin Place in Greenwich Village, where Cummings had been living since his first divorce. Norman published Cummings's first biography, The Magic Maker: E. E. Cummings in 1958. This revised edition contains an additional chapter on Cummings's final years. This copy is from the collection of David Jonathan Grossman (1922-1990), Cummings's friend and French translator. Octavo. Original black quarter cloth, spine lettered in green, green board sides, fore and lower edges untrimmed. With dust jacket. Grossman's shelf label on jacket front panel. Spine ends and corners a little bumped and rubbed; jacket price-clipped, handful of nicks and short closed tears, light marks and rubbing: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.
