ORWELL George; pseudonym of BLAIR Eric Arthur:
KING CHARLES II. Typescript of an Unpublished School Play.
1932. Typescript comprising two sections: first three pages of carbon copy with Orwell's autograph pencil side-notes recording sound effects the name 'Geoffrey' written twice in red crayon; second twelve roneograph pages with some pencil markings probably in the hand of one of the boy actors Geoffrey Stevens 15 pages folio and 4to spindle holes some slight wear and creasing marginal fraying at outer leaves final leaf torn and reinforced; together with an original photograph of Orwell and his school at this time mounted and labelled. Housed in a purpose made quarter black morocco solander box. Provenance: Geoffrey Stevens; sold Sothebys London Dec. 15th 1988; Private Collection. This short historical play which is written partly in blank verse was composed by the twenty-nine-year-old Eric Blair when he was headmaster at the Hawthorns High School for Boys in Hayes Middlesex a small private school having little more than a dozen pupils as the accompanying photograph shows. It was performed as the school's Christmas play at St Mary's Church Hall in Hayes in 1932. This was in a period when Orwell had finished Down and Out in Paris and London or Days in London and Paris as it was originally titled and was looking for a publisher. He was working on Burmese Days and had only sought the job at Hawthorns because he needed an income. Fed up with his job and his lack of disposable income he then spent the best part of a term writing and rehearsing a school play for the boys to perform. With dramatic speeches noisy altercations involving stocks and pikes unlikely coincidences and some very theatrical dialogue it is little wonder that Geoffrey Stevens one of the boys who performed in the play enjoyed the experience considerably more than Orwell himself who referred to it in a letter to Eleanor Jacques on 19 October as 'a mucky play the boys are to act later'. By 18 November he could record: 'I have had to write & produce a play- am now in the throes of rehearsing it- & what is worst of all have had to make most of the suits of armour etc. for the boys to act it. For the last few weeks I have been suffering untold agonies with glue & brown paper etc.' Collected Essays Journalism and Letters 1968 I 102-105. Geoffrey Stevens whose copy this is remembers the undertaking more fondly: 'The performance lasted only half an hour but we spent hours in preparation finding props constructing the scenery etc. all of which he Orwell supervised closely. It was ambitious. He arranged for plywood doors on either side to have saw cuts made in them so that Cromwell's men could break them open with their pikes. It worked perfectly and made a great crashing noise coming down.' Orwell The Authorised Biography Michael Shelden 1991 p172. Orwell was seldom pleased with his work and destroyed the majority of his manuscripts. King Charles II while it lacks some of the literary merits of his published work has pastiche humour and a political message. Aside from Nineteen Eighty-Four less than half of which survives this would appear to be the only Orwell typescript in existence. It remains unpublished and this is the sole known copy. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. 1932 unknown

ORWELL George.
Kolgosp Tvarin Animal Farm.
Munich: Vidavnitstvi Prometei 1947. Octavo. Original pictorial wrappers. Housed in a cloth flat-back box. Staining to covers and contents light creasing to covers yet still a good copy of this fragile book. First Ukrainian edition and the first to include a preface by Orwell. A copy of the first English edition of 1945 fell into the hands of Ihor Shevchenko a son of Polish anti-Bolshevik nationalists who translated the work into Ukrainian. "In April 1946 Shevchenko wrote to Orwell a mourning widower and single parent of adopted baby at that time requesting authorization to publish his Ukrainian translation. He described to him how he had translated the book out loud to a transfixed audience of Ukrainian DPs displaced persons and they had always been puzzled how the West could be so naïve about the Soviet Union and wondered if anyone 'knew the truth'. He concluded: 'Your book has solved that problem. Refugees reacted to the underlying values of the book to the tale 'types' to the underlying convictions of the author and so on. Besides the mood of the book seems to correspond with their own actual state of mind'. While Animal Farm had been a message of hope to the Ukrainian DPs Shevchenko's letter was a message of hope to Orwell who enthusiastically agreed to a Ukrainian translation" Tatara. Orwell contributed a new preface which was his most extensive commentary on the story and his motives for writing it and which is often printed in modern editions of the book to this day. The translator is given pseudonymously as Ivan Cherniatync'kyi on the title page.
