hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: London, John Murray, 1914 Formatting: Small 8vo, pp. 93. Condition Report: Very Good. The book maintains its structural integrity, presenting firmly bound and entirely free of tears to either the binding or the leaves. The publisherâs original drab cloth boards remain sturdy, and the black typography and border ruling on the front board are relatively crisp. However, the spine exhibits typical age-toning and mild fading commensurate with a volume of this era, alongside very light rubbing to the board corners and extremities. Internally, the text block is sound, but there is moderate foxing primarily restricted to the preliminary leaves, with tanned page edges characteristic of the paper stock used during this pre-war period. Overall, a highly presentable and readable copy that has clearly seen careful handling and storage. Catalogue Note: This First Edition forms part of the short-lived âThe Times Seriesâ published by John Murray just prior to the outbreak of the First World War. While the title page does not explicitly identify the author, the text is recognised as the work of Bernard Darwin, the eminent golf writer and grandson of Charles Darwin, who originally contributed these topographical pieces to The Times in 1913. Unillustrated and containing chapters dedicated to various notable locations, this copy bears a standard previous ownership inscription in ink to the half-title, reading "Granville Garley / May 1938". True first printings in the original cloth are now scarce on the open market. This is partly due to the small print run of the series, but largely because surviving copies have long been absorbed by two distinct collecting spheres: Darwin completists and dedicated Dickensians. Originating as a series of articles for The Times, A Dickens Pilgrimage is a charming topographical journey through the very landscapes that shaped Charles Dickens's most beloved novels. Bernard Darwin guides the reader with affection and keen observation through the historic streets of Rochester, the genteel elegance of Bath, the coastal charm of Dover and Broadstairs, and the bustling inns of Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. It serves as both an evocative travelogue and a nostalgic tribute, capturing the essence of Edwardian Englandâs enduring fascination with the Dickensian world. N/A (illustrator).…

hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Duckworth, 1933 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 135. Condition Report: Good. The book remains structurally sound and firmly bound in its original red cloth, demonstrating solid structural integrity. The boards exhibit some light, uneven sunning and minor shelf-wear to the extremities, particularly where the jacket is lacking, but present well overall. Internally, the pages are clean, crisp, and largely free from foxing, with the front free endpaper bearing a neat ink ownership inscription. The original dust jacket has suffered significant loss, entirely lacking its rear panel and exhibiting chipping to the head and foot of the spine; however, the striking Pegasus illustration and price medallion on the front panel remain vivid. A sound reading copy with surviving aesthetic appeal. Catalogue Note: This is a first edition of Bernard Darwinâs contribution to Duckworthâs Great Lives series, published in 1933. While Darwin is most celebrated for his golf writing, he was a devoted authority on Charles Dickens, and this compact biography remains a highly regarded study. The front free endpaper bears the ink signature of Granville Garley, dated "Scarborough, July 1934". Garley was an avid mid-twentieth-century collector of Dickensiana, and his dated inscriptions frequently surface on first editions and critical studies of the author from this era, adding a pleasing touch of domestic provenance. While copies of the book are relatively common, examples retaining any portion of the fragile pre-war dust jacket are increasingly scarce on the open market. Penned by Bernard Darwin, grandson of the famed naturalist and an esteemed Dickensian scholar in his own right, this concise biography distils the life of Charles Dickens into a single, vibrant volume. Originally issued as the eleventh instalment of Duckworth'sÂGreat Lives series, the book traces the legendary author's journey from his early days in a blacking factory to his transatlantic tours and final years at Gad's Hill. Darwin's lively prose offers both a comprehensive overview for the casual reader and sharp, critical insights for the devoted enthusiast. N/A (illustrator).…
