paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Limited Edition. A signed and superb clam shell slipcased special edition of The Life and Loves of Violet Gordon Woodhouse, signed by Jessica Douglas Home. VGW was a British keyboard player who specialised in the harpsichord and clavichord. She was influential in bringing both instruments back into fashion, and was the first person to record the harpsichord. She was also the first to broadcast harpsichord music on the radio. Steeped in music from a very early age, by the time she was seven Violet was already showing a precocious talent. By the age of sixteen she was studying with Oscar Beringer, one of the most notable piano scholars of the day. Violet's extraordinary ear for tone and phrasing, her instinctual interpretation of the music, and her exciting performances made her salon a cult, a magnet to many of the most important artists of her age-Picasso, Diaghilev, and Delius. Violet's musical genius was equalled by her evident physical allure. She had a horror of convention and lived in a scandalous menage a cinq with her husband (the marriage remained unconsumated) and three superhusbands, as she called them. An utterly compelling story, Violet's life was studded with unexpected sub-plots, the most fascinating a double murder which forms the bizarre center of an extraordinary life. Much of the book serves as a history of music in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - Violet was a prodigy and clearly an exceptional talent. If you're interested in music history this book will certainly appeal. The book taught me a great deal about music and it's place in the lives of the Victorians and the English of the first half of the twentieth century. The other major interest is Violet's charisma and personal magnetism. She had an ability to, and frequently did, wrap people around her little finger. This, more than anything, explains how she was able to establish her menage. A few rare women in history are said to be possessed of such powers - Cleopatra perhaps being another. Violet was also complex and spoiled. The following extract gives a good idea of her personality: 'At first Violet received her coolly, addressing her formally as Miss Morrison-Bell. When John remonstrated, asking Violet to call her Patricia, Violet replied, "I shall see if I like her first." The girls John had previously brought to stay he had generally been banned from bringing back, but by the end of the first evening the only question was when John was going to marry Patricia. From then on she became "Pattie" to Violet, and they became devoted to one another. A stunning biography, which reveals a fascinating personality. Violet Gordon Woodhouse was a formidable, complex and highly sophisticated woman, and her lifestyle choices were unorthodox by any standards - not least those of late Victorian and Edwardian England! As a result, they make for spellbinding reading. It is greatly to Douglas-Home's credit that she manages to breathe sympathetic life back into an individual who often demonstrated dubious character traits, yet remained capable of inspiring deep love and even adulation from those around her. Violet's personal highs and lows are off-set by a masterful analysis of the shifting social and cultural background against which she lived. Richly textured, elegantly told and frequently surprising, this book is absolutely superb. It comes with a special CD, bound in a uniform hardback folder, with a booklet full of the performance details. The title of the book itself is on a paper label mounted upon the cover. There is a slight set off with the red in the title. Apart from that this is a superb production and a truly astonishing story. Copious illustrations feature in two sections of the text. The author has signed this on the half title. Illus. With Photos (illustrator). Signed by Author.…
