Originally published Printed privately in 1905 before first trade edition in 1909. Language: English. Book Condition: Good: Light wear to corners edges and spine ends. Lightly rubbed cloth with marks. Missing ffep with frontis pasted to front board. Surface cracking to rear endpaper. Hinges remain firm. Very occasional mark or smudge to pages. DJ Condition: No DJ Pages 120. Size: 15.5cm by 12.5cm. AUTHOR: Extracted from an article in the Independent from 1998 referencing this book as one of Princess Dianas and Spencer familys favourite bedtime story with uncanny parallels to her life. Written by the novelist and poet Maurice Baring whose sister Margaret was Diana Princess of Waless great-grandmother. First published privately in 1905 with the first general illustrated edition appearing in 1909. In his autobiography Baring says that he was inspired to write it by a different story on the same theme that he Margaret and their brothers and sisters were told in the nursery by their French governess Cherie Gauvret. Cheries Le Prince Muguet et La Princesse Myosotis was privately printed in French in the 1880s by Barings mother. In Forget-me-not and Lily of the Valley the adult Baring was not just refashioning but re-stating a favourite family fairy tale passing on an oral tradition through the printed word. The charm of Forget-me-not and Lily of the Valley lies as much in its illustrations beautifully coloured images of flowers with human characteristics as in its writing. They were done by Countess Sophie Benckendorff whom Baring had met in 1901. Through her he came to know Russia he made his name as a writer on Russia and the Russians in the years leading up to the First World War. Benckendorffs pictures have an immediate gentle charm. But they gain spice when you know that some are also caricatures of members of a literate upper-class circle known as the Souls which had its heyday from the 1890s up until the First World War. Maurice and his sister Margaret were on the fringes of the Souls and as such introduced Countess Benckendorff to them when she settled in Britain. In the drawings Baring himself is the Lizard who arranges the Flower Ball the Liberal politician A J Balfour the Mayor who persuades the sky to stop raining Sophie Benckendorff the Gardenia looking on at the young dancers through lorgnettes. Most pointed is the scene where Lady Desborough a famous and fascinating hostess of the day and the undisputed queen of the Souls as the Pink sits under a toadstool with one of her official lovers Evan Charteris the Violet - while Maurice and Margarets eldest brother John Revelstoke the Yellow Tulip Ettie Desboroughs other official lover whom she saw on a separate strictly controlled timetable looks on askance arms folded. BOOK RESUME: Princess Forget-me-not and Prince Lily of the Valley the most beautiful of all the flowers meet at a ball and fall in love. They have never met before because she is a summer flower and he of the spring. And there lies their tragedy: nature has not meant them to be lovers. After the ball as the end of night approaches they go down to the edge of a tranquil lake and sail to Forget-me-nots palace carved in a water-lily. In the east there was a faint lilac tinge and the trees around the lake all shivered 'Go go' said the Forget-me-not. 'In a moment the Dawn will pull aside the grey curtains with the tips of her pink fingers and you will fade. Go and come again next year. ' James Nisbet & Co Limited hardcover‎
