Author: FENN, George Manville (1831-1909) Title: Signature and Inscription
Description: Prolific" doesn't even begin to describe this English novelist, editor and journalist who penned a staggering number of juvenile novels -- more than 160 according to one count -- as well as plays, short stories, biographies, anthologies and other writings. Signature and inscription on a 4¼" X 3 3/4" slip, n.y. Very good. Small mounting trace on verso. Bold and sloppy "With many apologies / for my [? ?} / GM Fenn / Syon Lodge / Isleworth / England." Rather uncommon. Syon Lodge was Fenn's residence in Middlesex, the county adjacent to London, in which Fenn amassed a library of some 25,000 volumes -- presumably some of them not penned by himself. .
