Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Colour Plates (illustrator). First Edition. INSCRIBED ON THE FFEP BY FRANCIS WARNER. Oxford Theatre Texts 19. 80 pages clean and tight. 'Francis Warner has shown once more he is a masterful poet and dramatist. Healing Nature, his eleventh play, is his best work to date. The action centres round Pericles, the aristocratic general, commandingly played by Rob Smith, as he creates "an Athens all the world will imitate'; only to see the tide of fortune turn and the empire fall into decay. Its exploration of the dilemmas facing empire-builders and empire-losers is original, thought-provoking, and relevant. It is a compelling play which combines the grand, heroic drama of Marlowe's Tamburlaine with moments of exquisitely delicate lyric poetry and unexpected dashes of humour: The Stage. 'A real treat in poetry was to be had in the Sheldonian last night. This was the premiere performance of Healing Nature, by Francis Warner . The play is about the turmoil that the birth pangs of democracy bring to a city, and the revolution and hostilities that accompany it. Francis Warner's play was safe in the hands of the Oxford University Dramatic Society, who, under the direction of Mark Payton, put on a classically Greek production. All brought out the Shakespearian quality of the play's verse and depth of meaning. And there could have been no better setting than the magnificent amphitheatre that is the Sheldonian: Oxford Mail Portrait of Pericles by Lucy Warner Cover design by Billett Potter Size: 8vo.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Colour Plates (illustrator). First Edition. INSCRIBED ON THE FFEP BY FRANCIS WARNER. Oxford Theatre Texts 12. 107 pages clean and tight. 'Francis Warner's play in celebration of the quincentenary of Frangois I's birth in 1494 is an act of courage.It opens in 1515, on the king's return from fighting the Swiss, and takes us to his death in 1547. Along the way, we meet not only the king himself, but also figures at least equal in prestige: Charles V, King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor, Clement Marot, Leonardo da Vinci, Marguerite de Navarre.The play maintains a consistently coherent line. Tim Prentki, as director, deserves his share of the credit for carrying forward this complex tale. We hear of Frangois as king, warrior, husband, lover/philanderer, patron of the arts, huntsman, opponent of the Sorbonne, creator of institutions free from the domination of the Church, religious bigot, and many things more.The whole is constructed on the basis of serious research into the period and the characters concerned.' Oxford Magazine. 'It is a substantial play, in verse, which presents an intriguing picture of the Renaissance court. Francis's patronage of the arts appears to spring as much from interests of state and princely one-upmanship as from his much-vaunted love of beauty. But it also provokes one of the play's most poignant scenes, the death of Leonardo da Vinci.' Church Times. Cover portrait of Frangois 1 by Titian. Photo: Musee du Louvre, Paris.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Colour Plates (illustrator). First Edition. INSCRIBED ON THE FFEP BY FRANCIS WARNER. Oxford Theatre Texts 11. 95 pages clean and tight. 'In his new play. Virgil and Caesar, the completion of a serial epic entitled AGORA, Francis Warner explores the dramatic tension between worldly rule, the pragmatism of politics, and the vision of the poet as idealist. Staged in the uniquely fitting setting of Oxford University's Convocation House, the production by Tim Prentki and Dominic Shellard exploited the limited space of fan-vaulted beauty to fine advantage. The play, as it explored the relationships between the machinations of worldly power, the wooing of the army, the detecting of subterfuge from the judiciary, the temptation of tyrannical power, the duties of family life, and the seductive disasters of succumbing to lust, unfolded in masterly fashion against the background of the philosophical and other views of the poets. Warner brings to our attention the perennial conflicts that are as timeless as they are timely. The command of English through poetic imagery must rank as the very best. Here we have laid before us the perennial crises of humanity dressed in classical clothes yet intensely of today. How valuable such rare and important plays are, being written in times when not only biological species are under threat around the world, but also cultural continuity itself.' The Stage.

Condition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Hardcover, 2016). 2016 1st edition. 8vo (144 x 211mm). Pp125,i. B/w photograph, b/w illustrations from old cartoons taken from Punch. Cream cloth, spine titled in gilt. Mint new copy in dust-wrapper. A collection of the author's articles and short stories along with the full script of his play, Fine & Far Off, which was previously published in a limited edition of 333 copies. The author also includes accounts of meetings and friendships with various well-known anglers such as T.C. Kingsmill-Moore and Hugh Falkus, the latter of which wrote to the author with a rather harsh critique of his play. The letter is reproduced in full and as Theo Pike said in his review of this book for the Flyfisher's Journal ".that letter and its context are probably worth the cover price alone." "This collection brings together Jo Rippier's writings about fishing, fact and fiction, and in one case 'dramatic'. He has recorded memorable experiences that occurred during his life in his pursuit of fish, and meeting unusual personalities, such as Mr Justice T.C. Kingsmill Moore ('Saracen'), and Hugh Falkus, as well as letting his imagination provide a number of fictional tales. Together they provide the reader with a variety of enjoyable stories and articles, and some historical illustrations, mostly from Punch, ideal for fishermen with time on their hands." Contents include:- One thing leads to another; Red letter day; Evolution; Dog and dogged days; A sedge for all seasons; Logic and a split decision; A Conn-undrum; An unusual experience; Fun and failure; Letter to a friend; Ego-denting; A moment in time; Itching to fish; The end of the day; Bavaria's Dr Duncan; Kingsmill Moore and Ballynahinch; A unique personality; Aegina; As I lay; Sweet chavender; Day-flies; A deeply objective fairy tale; A morning in Northern Ireland; Achilles heel; Fine and Far Off. .

He became a supporter of Irish Republicanism and smuggled guns into Ireland in his sailing yacht Asgard. He was executed by the authorities of the nascent Irish Free State during the Irish Civil War on 24 November 1922, by firing squad at the Beggars Bush Barracks in Dublin. Before his execution he shook hands with the firing squad. He also obtained a promise from his then 16-year-old son, the future President of Ireland, Erskine Hamilton Childers, to seek out and shake the hand of every man who had signed his death sentence. His final words, spoken to the firing squad, were: "Take a step or two forward, lads, it will be easier that way." Contains (viii), 256 pp with monochrome archive photographs throughout.
