Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good Plus. First Edition. 1976. 181pp. 23 B&W photos, 21 line drawings. "On 2nd March 1975 Helen Burness Cruickshank died in Edinburgh at the age of 88. Scotland's best loved modern poet, she had one final ambition, to "gang doun" like William Soutar "wi' a sang". And she very literally did that with a very moving poem about her own death, that she left unfinished. During the last months of her life she did the final polishing of her autobiography - her "Octobiography". It is as delightful as one would expect, rich in humour and philosophy, and full of the flavour of Edinburgh's cultural life through the last sixty years. From an Angus village she went to London. There the sight of her marching into Hyde Park, carrying one of the poles of the Hammersmith banner, was the first intimation to her family that she was now a Suffragette. For a time, in Edinburgh's busy West End, she lived in a studio flat surrounded by artists, sculptors, music teachers, a dancing school and working jewellers. She fell in love and the frustrations of love turned her into a poet. That was about the time when C.M. Grieve founded the Scottish Centre of P.E.N. Twelve months later she became its secretary and she held office for seven of its most formative years. But it was in Corstorphine, at "Dinnieduff", that she became one of the leading figures in Scotland's "literary renaissance". Her home became a meeting place for many well known writers. James Leslie Mitchell, C.M. Grieve, Edwin Muir and Douglas Young were among those who slept in the little Prophet's Chamber under the roof of "Dinnieduff", as guests of the Cruickshanks, and many others were regular visitors. Perth's invalid poet William Soutar was also among her friends. Here we will meet them all as she saw them, with shrewdly observant eyes. "Octobiography" is lavishly illustrated, not only with many photographs and line drawings, but with numerous poems by herself and others. The four page manuscript of her last unfinished poem is reproduced full-size. Many of her other poems too gain an added dimension by being shown in the setting which inspired them." Dark green leather binding with gilt titles to spine and gilt decoration to upper board. Top edge green. Green marbled endpapers. Light rubbing to spine ends and corners. The book is otherwise in excellent condition with no inscriptions. The unclipped dust jacket has some wear and tear with a little loss to the bottom of the spine.

The selection, through which Saunders Crombie aimed to present "the cream of Hugh MacDiarmid's poetry while exemplifying the varied nature of his work," includes one poem that first appeared in The Modern Scot, 'Harry Semen' (see ref. 2444) Helen Burness Cruickshank (1886-1975) was another Angus-born poet with links to the Scottish Renaissance (see also item 5). Having submitted poems to Christopher Grieve's new anthology, Northern Numbers, the two poets became lifelong friends, as well working together for Scottish PEN; Cruickshank began as Honorary Secretary, but later took over the helm from Grieve. Indeed, Cruickshank's Edinburgh home, Dinnieduff, became a centre of Scottish literary activity and society during this period, which Cruickshank later referred to as a watershed time in her life. She was also a founding member of the Saltire Society.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
Lambie is the subject of a long obituary in The Scotsman, 21 January 2015. Both items 2pp., 4to. Both in good condition, with light signs of age and wear. ONE: 21 September 1973. She has 'heard good accounts' of the Gladstone Court Museum, and a friend 'now promises me to motor me there some time soon. At 81, I am no longer able to go "under my own steam"'. She agrees to let him use her poem 'Background' in a Christmas card, but would like to see the design before printing. 'The copyright of my poems is now held by Mr Gordon Wright of Reprographia who published my recent collection of poems & I have informed him of your request, altho I don't think his consent is required as no money is involved.' As 'a native of Angus' she is 'much interested in the Glenesk Folk Museum near Tarfside & my friend, the founder of that collection, Miss M. F. Michie [sic, for Greta F. Michie] will be greatly interested in your collection.' She ends with a reference to a recording of 'the poem you have singled out' by '[o]ne of the local children, Graham Guthrie', 'for a broadcast celebration of my 80th birthday some years ago'. TWO: 22 November 1973. She is returning 'the draft sketches', commenting: 'While they have a certain charm, they don't really measure up to my idea of a child enough to require "frostit fingers rubbed" etc the figure of the girl looks too adult for that'. She asks for the artist to be thanked 'for his trouble', but feels that a 'simple snow scene, with no figures might have been better.' She is happy to have seen 'even briefly the wonderful collection you have at Biggar'. She has made no subsequent outings, 'as the cold of winter makes my lameness rather too crippling'. She did however manage to 'manoeuvre' herself 'with a friends car to make a short journey to a friends house to see a colour televised account of "that wedding"'. She has no television herself: 'just haven't time for it, if I am to keep up my reading'.
