Description
[Ithaca: William A. Church Co, 1938. Octavo, stapled in wrappers (17.5 x 12.5 cm.), 61 pages. FIRST EDITION. A fundraising cookbook, published in aid of refugee children on the eve of the Second World War. Originally compiled (but not published) as a Christmas greeting to her friends, the author revised the book "as a means to helping as many as possible of those children to reach a peaceful part of the world where they may enjoy Christmas once again" (preface of the second edition of 1939). This copy shows evidence of the author's attention of moving towards the refugees, with labels pasted to the interior front wrapper panel stating "Sold for the Benefit of the Refugee Children in Care of the American Friends' Service Committee". Two prefatory statements reveal it was originally intended as a Christmas keepsake in the form of a Round Robin. The recipes are interesting, including Gun Club Onion Soup, Baked Sliced Ham with Apricots, Banana Meat Loaf, Virginia Spoon Bread, Spiced Currants, and more. Internally clean and sound; in white wrappers, titled in black on the front panel. One corner lightly creased, and some light foxing to the wrappers, otherwise very good. A few small pencil annotations to a few recipes. [OCLC locates no copies of this first edition, (and eleven copies of the 1939 second edition)].
