Fine Binding. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. John Preston-Bell (illustrator). First Edition. DOVE COTTAGE The Wordsworths at Grasmere 1799-1803 Dorothy and William Wordsworth. Illustrated by John Preston-Bell. The Folio Society, London 1966 218pp Illustrated Fine Binding. This copy is bound in quarter burgundy buckram to red patterned paper covered boards. There is gilt titling to the spine. The contens are tight and bright. This copy is encased in a grey linen covered card slip case which has some splitting to the base but is otherwise very good. This Folio Society original first edition includes 'The Grasmere Journal' by Dorothy Wordsworth together with selections from the correspondence of Dorothy and William Wordsworth edited by Kingsley Hart. The book is beautifully illustrated with atmospheric half tone photographs by John Preston-Bell. Dove Cottage in Grasmere was William Wordsworth's home from 1799 to 1808. Here Wordsworth wrote much of his poetry, and his sister Dorothy kept her famous journals. Dove Cottage was built in the early 17th Century and for over 170 years was an inn called the 'Dove and Olive'. It closed in 1793, and in 1799 Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy moved in. In 1802 after her marriage to William, Mary Hutchinson arrived. Their three oldest children were born at Dove Cottage - John in 1803, Dora in 1804 and Thomas in 1806. Mary's sister Sara Hutchinson and William's friend Thomas De Quincey also lived here. The Wordsworths had many visitors to Dove Cottage - Walter Scott, Thomas De Quincey, Charles and Mary Lamb, Robert Southey and most of all Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Wordsworth's growing family and the many visitors meant that Dove Cottage became too small, and in May 1808 they moved to Allan Bank in Grasmere. Ref O1 Size: 218pp.

CANON HARDWICKE DRUMMOND RAWNSLEY (1851-1920) was a Church of England clergyman, poet, hymn writer, local politician, and conservationist. He was also one of the founders of the National Trust. Living in the English Lake District for more than thirty years, he worked for the protection of the countryside and secured the support of people of influence for his campaigns. Rawnsley was born at the rectory, Shiplake, Oxfordshire, England, the fourth of ten children of the Rev Robert Drummond Burrell Rawnsley (1817-1882) and his wife, Catherine Ann, née Franklin (1818-1892). He was educated at Uppingham School and Balliol College, Oxford, where he was prominent in university athletics and rowing. He gained a third class degree in natural science in 1874 and was awarded his Master of Arts degree in 1875. In the same year he was ordained as a deacon in the Church of England and became the first chaplain of Clifton College mission, ministering to one of Bristol's poorest areas. In 1877 Rawnsley was ordained as a priest, and in 1878 he took up the post of Vicar of Wray, Windermere, in the Lake District. In January 1878, he married Edith Fletcher, and the couple had one child, a son, Noel. In 1882, the young Beatrix Potter holidayed in nearby Wray Castle with her parents. They entertained many eminent guests, including Rawnsley. His views on preserving the natural beauty of the Lake District had a lasting effect on Potter, who was already taken with the area. He was the first published author she had met, and he took a great interest in her drawings, later encouraging her to publish her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. **Will be well-packed for posting/shipping**.
