Home at Grasmere: The Wordsworths and the Lakes (The Illustrated Letters)
London, Collins and Brown. 1993. (ISBN: 1855851113) Hardcover, 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book, This is a collection of the writings of William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Coleridge, De Quincy and others, describing the life of the Wordsworths and their circle when they lived at Grasmere in the Lake District. The book starts with a description of William's early life, but its main focus is on the years 1799-1813, that period of sustained creativity when William and his sister Dorothy returned to the lakes and mountains of their childhood memories. Penelope Hughes-Hallett interweaves photographs and her own descriptions with extracts from William's poems, Dorothy's journals and the writings of a host of other contemporaries, to evoke a place and a time which became inspirational in the development of English literature. Very Good/Very Good.

Doris Lessing: a Biography
London, Gerald Duckworth & Co. Ltd. 2000. (ISBN: 0715629514) Hardback, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book, Throughout her life, Doris Lessing broke the rules in both her personal life and within the accepted mores of literature. A trailblazer of the women's movement and an early experimenter with drugs, she gained notoriety in the sixties with her first novel "The Grass is Singing", and subsequently with her explosive "Golden Notebook" and the "Children of Violence" series. At the age of eighty she remains part of the avant garde. Doris Lessing has always resisted appointing an official biographer. In this unofficial biography, Carole Klein, separates fact from the fiction with which Dories Lessing has surrounded herself. Using the private correspondence between Lessing, her long-standing editor Tobert Gottlieb and her agent John Cushman, she reveals a complex woman who is both self-assured and remarkably fragile. Beginning with Lessing's birth in Persia to a cold and spiteful mother, Carole Klein follows Lessing through her many reincarnations: an isolated childhood in Africa, lonely years at a distant boarding school, a rebellious and promiscuous young adulthood, years at a menial job as a telephone operator, a brief marriage, motherhood, her flight from her husband and children, her political activism, fame and, always, her writing. Carole Klein attempts to reveal the spirit of a woman who was never afraid to challenge the status quo, who always sought a deeper truth, ending up losing the battle with her own identity. Very Good/Very Good.
