First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. First edition with music by Charles Wakefield Cadman. Quarto. Two nested bifolia making eight pages. Publisher stamp on the front cover, light edgewear, bumping to the corners, and soiling to the exterior, a good or better copy. For voice and piano. Plate number, 2706 - 5. This song originally came from a collaboration Dickens had with the composer, John Hullah. The two wrote a comic opera titled, "The Village Coquettes." The show premiered in 1836 and ran for 19 nights in London before moving to Edinburgh where it was performed under new direction. The reviews were less than favorable and over time Dickens grew to agree with them, once stating that he "wouldn't repeat [his productions] for a thousand pounds apiece," and he reportedly wished for his foray into theater (*The Village Coquettes* and a piece called *The Strange Gentleman*) to be forgotten completely (F.G. Kitton). In 1870, the year Dickens died, the composer Lesta Vesé tried their hand at breathing new life into the song, and 55 years later Charles Wakefield Cadman thought to try as well. *OCLC* locates only five holdings of this version by Cadman.

First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. First edition with music by Lesta Vesé. Folio. Single bifolium with a single sheet insert making six pages. Bifolium separated along the fold but both leaves are present, notched and worn along the fold from once being bound within an album, music shop stamp on the front cover, and some light scattered foxing, a complete but good only copy. For voice and piano. Plate imprint, "Dickens' last song. 4." This song originally came from a collaboration Dickens had with the composer, John Hullah. The two wrote a comic opera titled, "The Village Coquettes." The show premiered in 1836 and ran for 19 nights in London before moving to Edinburgh where it was performed under new direction. The reviews were less than favorable and over time Dickens grew to agree with them, once stating that he "wouldn't repeat [his productions] for a thousand pounds apiece," and he reportedly wished for his foray into theater (*The Village Coquettes* and a piece called *The Strange Gentleman*) to be forgotten completely (F.G. Kitton). It's interesting to see that someone took it upon themselves to breath new life into the song over forty years later and in the year of Dickens' death; whether this is a respectful tribute to the man or an inadvertent slight against him we'll leave for you to decide. *OCLC* locates only two holdings.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Later printing. Folio. Single bifolium with a single sheet insert making six pages. Light dampstaining along the top and bottom of the front cover affecting throughout, separating a bit at the bottom of the fold, internal tape repair along the length of the fold and along the fore edge and bottom edge of the insert, and foxing and light offsetting throughout, still a complete and good or better copy. For voice and piano. Plate number, 148. The front cover states, "As sung by Miss Caroline Richings." Unlike most sheet music associated with Charles Dickens, this song comes from an actual collaboration Dickens had with the composer, John Hullah. This song is from a comic opera they wrote titled, "The Village Coquettes." The show premiered in 1836 and ran for 19 nights in London before moving to Edinburgh where it was performed under new direction. The reviews were less than favorable and over time Dickens grew to agree with them, once stating that he "wouldn't repeat [his productions] for a thousand pounds apiece," and he reportedly wished for his foray into theater (*The Village Coquettes* and a piece called *The Strange Gentleman*) to be forgotten completely (F.G. Kitton). *OCLC* locates five holdings of this edition published by J. Sage & Sons and it appears to be equally scarce in the trade.
