1848ref. W1799London: John W. Parker 1848. 2 volumes: frontispiece 4 ccxxxii 504 pages; and frontispiece 4 649 1 pages. 12mo. First editions. Bound in full tan leather by 19th century Glasgow bookbinders Carss & Co.; marbled edges and endpapers. Published 3 years after the death of British writer John Sterling 1806-1844 at age 38 these two volumes contain much of his output as well as a memoir of his life by Charles Hare. Included are most of his fantasy tales among which are the novella The Onyx Ring five of the fantasy tales that were imbedded in the novel Arthur Coningsby and the longer short story "A Chronicle of England" which Murray Ewing describes as "a delightful fairy-haunted picture of England in the days before it received its first human inhabitants." John Sterling had long languished in obscurity but today he is hailed by many as an important progenitor of fantastical literature. In the Encyclopedia of Fantasy John Clute and John Grant argue that Sterling has to be considered "the most significant UK pioneer of fantasy." In The Dedalus Book of British Fantasy: The 19th Century Brian Stableford states: Sterling would surely have become one of the leading writers of his day had he not died so young and he might well have become the most important nineteenth century fantasy writer; his prose fantasies are more various and more adventurous than any other contemporary work.

Roads and Vagabonds. London: Eyre and Spottiswoode 1930. Signed Limited Edition. One of only 50 numbered copies this being no. 42 signed by both Cecil Aldin and Kenneth Hare. Large quarto 10 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches; 273 x 187 mm. viii 189 1 blank pp. Two inserted full-color plates and numerous color-tinted illustrations throughout the text. Handsomely bound ca. 1960 by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in full maroon crushed morocco covers ruled in gilt spine with five raised bands elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt-ruled board edges and turn-ins marbled endpapers top edge gilt. A fine elegant copy. A particularly charming example of Cecil Aldin's mature work Roads and Vagabonds captures the artist's enduring fascination with the English countryside - its inns lanes sporting life and gently comic rural characters. Aldin's illustrations at once affectionate and keenly observed helped define the visual language of early 20th-century British sporting and travel books. The limitation of just fifty signed copies places this among the scarcest of Aldin's illustrated books seldom encountered on the market and almost always in lesser bindings. The present example is significantly enhanced by its later binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe the great London firm associated with some of the finest decorative bindings of the modern era here executed in a restrained but luxurious style that complements the work beautifully.
