Seller: Schulson Autographs

Title: The Chalk Garden," Signed, with Original Color illustration. William Heinemann, Ltd., London, 1956
Author: BAGNOLD, ENID
Seller: Schulson Autographs (United States)
Description: Bagnold's best known novel is "National Velvet" (1935). Her most successful play is "The Chalk Garden." Both of her best known works were made into well received films. On the first free end paper of our copy of "The Chalk Garden", extending onto the inside cover as well as the inside dust jacket, Bagnold has drawn a colorful seaside sketch of her own home, Rottingdean, in Sussex, England. Her garden at Rottingdean inspired the play's setting. She dedicates her charming drawing to drama and film writer, Terrence Rattingan (1911-77) whose bookplate is affixed to the inside cover. She writes, "For Darling Terry....This is how Rottingdean should be...." She signs, "Enid." She identifies her "Palace" and "Terry's House" as well as "The Sea" in her sketch. The drawing is rendered in red pen and water color. With the program for the play's 1956 production in London at the "Theatre Royal Haymarket" directed by John Gielgud. The book is in very good condition overall with a slight stain in the upper right to the dust jacket.

Seller: Lighthouse Books, ABAA

Title: Goshawk Squadron.
Author: Robinson, Derek.
Seller: Lighthouse Books, ABAA (United States)
Description: London: William Heinemann Ltd., 1971. Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), gilt letters, [218] pp. Near-Fine, with bookplate; in a Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Goshawk Squadron, R. F. C., January 1918. The C. O., Woolley, indoctrinates his pilots with a simple yet savage code: shoot the enemy in the back before he knows you’re there -- a brisk cold blooded approach to the business of air warfare and far removed from the romance of ‘chivalry in the clouds.’ Even so, he believes in three months the whole squadron will be dead. Scruffy and a perpetual Guinness-drinker, he trains his flyers with a measured mixture of sarcasm and brutality. Planes fly, crash, are patched with canvas, lubricated with castor oil, and fly again. ‘We eat death for bloody breakfast,’ Woolley says, ‘It’s what keeps us going.’ Surprisingly this first novel set in the last year of a catastrophic war is not only shocking and exciting but a very funny book. Woolley may drive his men but he terrorizes the top brass; and with his grilfriend Margery he is something else again,. Derek Robinson’s portrait of this wild old man of twenty-three is an extra-ordinary success.
