Seller's Description:
First Edition. Hardback. Dust Jacket. 8vo. pp. 214. Original publisher's green cloth lettered gilt on spine. Illustrated dust jacket lettered white and black on spine and upper cover. Norman Scarfe's advance copy. Typed signed letter from Ossie Peled at Gerald Duckworth and Company Ltd. to 'Dear Sir' [Norman Scarfe] loosely inserted written on headed notepaper from The Old Piano Factory 48 Hoxton Square London N1 6PB dated 21 September 1993 and consisting of about 40 words in which he encloses an advance copy of the book at A. L. Rowse's request and says it will be published on 14 October. Card with Norman Scarfe's printed address and phone number loosely inserted. Occasional pencil annotations in the text and reference notes on final blank pages in Scarfe's hand. The friendship between Rowse, who admired Scarfe but tried to mold him, was marred by Rowse's outrage when Scarfe failed to get a First (he later established a name for himself in the field of topographical history at Leicester). After fourteen years he settled in Suffolk giving up university life and once again Rowse wrote reproving letters to Scarfe. A. L. Rowse (1903-1997) historian, author, literary critic and Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, Fellow of the British Academy and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature who spent fifty years of his working life at All Souls. Norman Scarfe (1923-2014) was a notable historian of East Anglia who conceived with Geoffrey Martin the idea of founding the Suffolk Records Society. He also worked for the conservation of his native Suffolk. Very good. 0715624741 Very good.
