' The Faithless Lollybird contains stories of magic, mystery and miraculous surprise. When a barrel of water is tipped over in 'A Tray of Tea', not only do little sisters turn into bicycles and brothers into collies, but ancient King Edward and his Queen Eleanor strange ly seem to be somewhere about. One lesson to learn from 'The Locking Glass Tree' is to beware of any new neighbour who grows exotic mushrooms or enough deadly nightshade to poison the whole village. Because next thing you know she might change your cat into a 250-pound timber wolf! You may never have believed in the ghost of a dog - particularly one who died 800 years ago - until you have read the strange talc of 'Crusader's Toby'. For all the exciting parcels and letters he delivered, there was never so much as a card for poor Fred the postman, but all his troubles began the day he was tempted to steal just one in 'The Man Who Pinched God's Letter'. These stories take us to all parts of the world. 'The Faithless Lollybird' recounts the frantic search through the capitals of Europe to soothe the hurt feelings of a bird who could weave spectacular fabric out of almost any thing, provided you showed him the proper respect. And in Venice, where the cats have a passionate fondness for music, a great musician is saved from starvation in 'The Cat Who Lived in a Drainpipe'. For the countless readers who have grown to love Joan Aiken's stories andfor any who have yet to discover their unique spell, this collection will give hours of special pleasure '.

	ALLEN MICHAEL The Leavers Cassell, U.K. 1963. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. 122 pages, size 7.5 inches tall by 5 inches. ' The Leavers is a tender and compassionate first novel of a few weeks in the life of Christopher Green, eighteen years old and in the limbo world between his schooldays and his first term at Cambridge. Until July he had been treated as a schoolboy; from September he would be treated as a man; but for the moment he was free to be what he liked, idling away the summer days. To Christopher, part-boy and part-man, life was his own glorious oyster, brimful of promise and expectation. For his new-found freedom he had his own vitality, the sun and the river; for his further education he had Sally Randall next door, who during her husband's absences taught a subject notably omitted from his school curriculum. Life, to Christopher Green, was a game, was fun, and he cheerfully accepted John Harrison's invitation to stay at his home for a few days. John had gone to Cambridge a year before, glowing with academic and sporting honours, and leaving behind him scores of admirers, among them Christopher, with whom he had had a special relationship which Christopher now preferred to forget. The visit was not a success. From the moment they met until they said goodbye for the last time Christopher was aware that their friendship had ended. And in the tragedy that followed Christopher found too the knowledge that much else had ended, that almost unknowingly he had passed through the limbo of adolescence and had become a man .'

	ALLIS MAUGUERITE Splendour Stays Cassell, U.K. 1949. First Edition, Hard Cover. Good Plus Plus/No Jacket. 456 pages, size 8 inches tall by 5.5 inches. ' History is people-how they felt, and how those feelings influenced the course of events-not merely a cinema reel on which one-dimensional figures caper like paper dolls in the strong winds of circumstance. The seven daughters of Captain Elisha Hart of Saybrook were, with the exception of the eldest and the youngest, all born in the final decade of the eighteenth century, and the last survivor among them is remembered by people now living. Several of them lie in Saybrook's Ancient Burying Ground, one in Philadelphia and another at Burlington, Vermont. Theirs was a period when "females" were, like children, seen and not heard. Even so, they swayed history by subtle means not preserved in the records. Residents along the lower Connecticut River know fragments of the tale of the seven Harts-a highly romantic tale, or rather series of interwoven romances. But the whole story, with all its repercussions, personal, national, and international, is available only to one who is patient i.n the searching of old newspapers, old diaries, and the musty files of the State and Navy Departments in Washington-to one patient in search, yet imaginative enough to read between the lines where so much basic history is written. "To say why folks do thus and so, indeed would be presuming." Yet the historical novelist must presume, not upon known fact, but upon the mysteries of the human heart. His excuse is that, in so doing, he hopes to interpret the present in terms of the past; not pointing out analogies or morals (God forbid!) but leaving the reader so vivid a picture of the participants in that past as to feel, with the poet Swinburne, that although "the shadow stayed not," nevertheless "the splendour stays."

	BAX ROGER Disposing of Henry Harper & Brothers, US, 1947. First US Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine /Very Good ++/Near Very Good. 243 page novel in blue boards with red lettering & white decoration. Once she'd been Daisy Waters of the London slums, but she changed her name to Denise, used what she had to offer, and moved ahead in the world. There were, as might have been expected, a number of men in her life. Each of them had his own opinion of her. William. Pargeter called her, "a filthy little gold-digger" and several other things. Henry Wycherley said, "I think you're very, very sweet, my dear." Squadron-Leader Charles Trant, D.F.C. who was more masculine and formidable than any man she could remember, said at their first meeting, "You're the loveliest creature I've seen in years." A little later he said, "We seem to suit each other." And finally he said, "I know I'm callous, but you're worse, you're a coward. You'll suffer more in the end-far more. Don't you see I'm trying to help you. You're so weak-I'm trying to give you a little strength. We botched our plans and that was mainly my fault-now I'm trying to play fair and make up for it in the only way I can." Denise answered him by saying, "If you'd ever loved me you'd never talk like this." And he replied, "If I'd ever loved you I would kill you myself. I ought to, I will if you like." Roger Bax has written a superb story of passion, violence and death, of a woman who knew what she wanted, set out to get it, found a man as ruthless as herself and with him started a fire which in the end consumed both of them.

' The Faithless Lollybird contains stories of magic, mystery and miraculous surprise. When a barrel of water is tipped over in 'A Tray of Tea', not only do little sisters turn into bicycles and brothers into collies, but ancient King Edward and his Queen Eleanor strange ly seem to be somewhere about. One lesson to learn from 'The Locking Glass Tree' is to beware of any new neighbour who grows exotic mushrooms or enough deadly nightshade to poison the whole village. Because next thing you know she might change your cat into a 250-pound timber wolf! You may never have believed in the ghost of a dog - particularly one who died 800 years ago - until you have read the strange talc of 'Crusader's Toby'. For all the exciting parcels and letters he delivered, there was never so much as a card for poor Fred the postman, but all his troubles began the day he was tempted to steal just one in 'The Man Who Pinched God's Letter'. These stories take us to all parts of the world. 'The Faithless Lollybird' recounts the frantic search through the capitals of Europe to soothe the hurt feelings of a bird who could weave spectacular fabric out of almost any thing, provided you showed him the proper respect. And in Venice, where the cats have a passionate fondness for music, a great musician is saved from starvation in 'The Cat Who Lived in a Drainpipe'. For the countless readers who have grown to love Joan Aiken's stories andfor any who have yet to discover their unique spell, this collection will give hours of special pleasure '.

	ALLEN MICHAEL The Leavers Cassell, U.K. 1963. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. 122 pages, size 7.5 inches tall by 5 inches. ' The Leavers is a tender and compassionate first novel of a few weeks in the life of Christopher Green, eighteen years old and in the limbo world between his schooldays and his first term at Cambridge. Until July he had been treated as a schoolboy; from September he would be treated as a man; but for the moment he was free to be what he liked, idling away the summer days. To Christopher, part-boy and part-man, life was his own glorious oyster, brimful of promise and expectation. For his new-found freedom he had his own vitality, the sun and the river; for his further education he had Sally Randall next door, who during her husband's absences taught a subject notably omitted from his school curriculum. Life, to Christopher Green, was a game, was fun, and he cheerfully accepted John Harrison's invitation to stay at his home for a few days. John had gone to Cambridge a year before, glowing with academic and sporting honours, and leaving behind him scores of admirers, among them Christopher, with whom he had had a special relationship which Christopher now preferred to forget. The visit was not a success. From the moment they met until they said goodbye for the last time Christopher was aware that their friendship had ended. And in the tragedy that followed Christopher found too the knowledge that much else had ended, that almost unknowingly he had passed through the limbo of adolescence and had become a man .'

	ALLIS MAUGUERITE Splendour Stays Cassell, U.K. 1949. First Edition, Hard Cover. Good Plus Plus/No Jacket. 456 pages, size 8 inches tall by 5.5 inches. ' History is people-how they felt, and how those feelings influenced the course of events-not merely a cinema reel on which one-dimensional figures caper like paper dolls in the strong winds of circumstance. The seven daughters of Captain Elisha Hart of Saybrook were, with the exception of the eldest and the youngest, all born in the final decade of the eighteenth century, and the last survivor among them is remembered by people now living. Several of them lie in Saybrook's Ancient Burying Ground, one in Philadelphia and another at Burlington, Vermont. Theirs was a period when "females" were, like children, seen and not heard. Even so, they swayed history by subtle means not preserved in the records. Residents along the lower Connecticut River know fragments of the tale of the seven Harts-a highly romantic tale, or rather series of interwoven romances. But the whole story, with all its repercussions, personal, national, and international, is available only to one who is patient i.n the searching of old newspapers, old diaries, and the musty files of the State and Navy Departments in Washington-to one patient in search, yet imaginative enough to read between the lines where so much basic history is written. "To say why folks do thus and so, indeed would be presuming." Yet the historical novelist must presume, not upon known fact, but upon the mysteries of the human heart. His excuse is that, in so doing, he hopes to interpret the present in terms of the past; not pointing out analogies or morals (God forbid!) but leaving the reader so vivid a picture of the participants in that past as to feel, with the poet Swinburne, that although "the shadow stayed not," nevertheless "the splendour stays."

	BAX ROGER Disposing of Henry Harper & Brothers, US, 1947. First US Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine /Very Good ++/Near Very Good. 243 page novel in blue boards with red lettering & white decoration. Once she'd been Daisy Waters of the London slums, but she changed her name to Denise, used what she had to offer, and moved ahead in the world. There were, as might have been expected, a number of men in her life. Each of them had his own opinion of her. William. Pargeter called her, "a filthy little gold-digger" and several other things. Henry Wycherley said, "I think you're very, very sweet, my dear." Squadron-Leader Charles Trant, D.F.C. who was more masculine and formidable than any man she could remember, said at their first meeting, "You're the loveliest creature I've seen in years." A little later he said, "We seem to suit each other." And finally he said, "I know I'm callous, but you're worse, you're a coward. You'll suffer more in the end-far more. Don't you see I'm trying to help you. You're so weak-I'm trying to give you a little strength. We botched our plans and that was mainly my fault-now I'm trying to play fair and make up for it in the only way I can." Denise answered him by saying, "If you'd ever loved me you'd never talk like this." And he replied, "If I'd ever loved you I would kill you myself. I ought to, I will if you like." Roger Bax has written a superb story of passion, violence and death, of a woman who knew what she wanted, set out to get it, found a man as ruthless as herself and with him started a fire which in the end consumed both of them. Roger Bax is an exciting new English author, who should gain for himself by Disposing of Henry a large and eager American audience.
