Tempest-Tost [Salterton Trilogy]

New York, Rinehart, 1952. First Printing. Hardcover. First American Edition (preceding the English edition) of the author's first novel, the opening installment of the Salterton Trilogy (followed by Leaven of Malice and A Mixture of Frailtie). 8vo (135 x 207mm): [6],307,[1]pp. Publisher's green cloth-effect paper-covered boards, spine stamped in red and yellow, fore- and bottom edges rough-cut; pink and green dust jacket illustrated by Edwin Schmidt and printed in black. A tight, crisp, clean copy; about Fine dust jacket (very mild edge wear). First book of the Salterton Trilogy, "written while Davies was deeply immersed in his report on the lamentable status of Canadian theatre for the Massey- Lévesque Commission, and while he was writing his deeply satirical Marchbanks columns [in which Davies vented his frustrations about the puritanism of Canadians and Canadian culture]. Indeed, the novels that make up the Salterton Trilogy are markedly different from the rest of Davies's novels because of their use of social satire to expose the artistic limitations and cultural immaturity of small-town Canada." (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.

The Tongue Is One Half of a Man [Framed Quotation]

Toronto, Robertson Davies n.p. [Toronto], N.d. Original Autographed Quotation. Framed & Glazed. Original Autographed Quotation. Framed & Glazed. Signed by Author. William Robertson Davies, CC, FRSC, FRSL [1913 / 1995]. Canadian novelist, playwright, critic, journalist, & professor. One of Canada's best-known & most popular authors, & one of its most distinguished "men of letters", a term Davies is variously said to have gladly accepted for himself & to have detested. Davies was the founding Master of Massey College, a graduate college at the University of Toronto. Framed Quotation. n.p. n.d. Matted with a gold filet & black sculpted wood frame [glazed] to an overall size of 10" 1/2 x 13" 1/2 - Typed, signed & corrected 4x by Davies in black ink: "The tongue is one half of a man, but the other half is the heart'. I have always liked that proverb, because it does honour to the faculty of speech, and it is speech as much as anything that divides man from the lesser creations.
