1911ref. 8839East Aurora NY: The Roycrofters 1911. Near Fine. Folio. 42 consecutive issues bound in 7 volumes with ads and many additions. 1/2 suede over laid-paper covered boards printed in black and red. Untrimmed and often unopened. Starting with Vol.1 April 1908 No.1 and ending with Vol 7 September 1911 No.6. Each bound volume has 6 issues. Each issue has 16-32pp. of text and 20-32pp of ads. Text is printed in two colors usually black and pink on very nice paper with adds appearing on smooth tan or white paper. Text is numbered consecutively. The cover of these large attractive magazines was designed by Dard Hunter and Hubbard himself wrote most of the ads. Alice Hubbard wrote much of the magazine but there were many contributors. Some illustrations by Denslow. These bound volumes have what appears to be additional sheets usually caricatures or jokes as transitions from one issue to another. All covers are present. There is an occasional small edge tear or crease but for the most part it appears that the volumes were made up of new unread issues of the magazine with the exception of Volume 5 where the magazines appear lightly used and have some small tears and creases to some of the covers and pages. Two issues April and May of 1911 have a different style cover pictorial in blue. The bindings are all in very nice condition; the rear endpaper of Volume 5 has a slight rippling but no evidence of moisture. There are pencil marks that appear to be editorial throughout the text sections of all volumes; they are not particuarly distracting. The Roycrofters unknown

Ramé or de la Ramé 1839-1908 English novelist and daughter of English and French parents was a successful novelist who under the pseudonym published over 40 novels as well as short stories children's books and essays. In the 1860s she lived in a Langham's Hotel London where she lived lavishly and held literary salons attended by many leading contemporary figures from the political and literary worlds and many of her stories and characters were based on attendees. In about 1871 she moved to Italy where she continued to live in great style but ended up in penury. She was an advocate of animal rights and a staunch anti-vivisectionist. "In her early period her novels were considered 'racy' and 'swashbuckling' a contrast to 'the moralistic prose of early Victorian literature' . and a hybrid of the sensationalism of the 1860s and the proto-adventure novels being published as part of the romanticisation of imperial expansion. Later her work was more typical of historical romance though she never stopped commenting on contemporary society. . Under Two Flags 1867 one of her most famous novels described the British in Algeria. It expressed sympathy for the French colonists – with whom Ouida deeply identified – and to some extent the Arabs. The novel was adapted for the stage and was filmed six times. Her 1872 novel A Dog of Flanders is considered a children's classic in much of Asia.

Ariadne written in 1877 Rare First Edition The Story of a Dream Ouida 1 January 1839 – 25 January 1908 was the pseudonym of the English novelist Maria Louise Ramé although she preferred to be known as Marie Louise de la Ramée. During her career Ouida wrote more than 40 novels as well as short stories children's books and essays. Moderately successful she lived a life of luxury entertaining many of the literary figures of the day. Under Two Flags one of her most famous novels described the British in Algeria. It expressed sympathy for the French colonists—with whom Ouida deeply identified—and to some extent the Arabs. The novel was adapted for the stage and was filmed six times. Her novel A Dog of Flanders is considered a children's classic in much of Asia. The American author Jack London cited her novel Signa as one of the reasons for his literary success. Her lavish lifestyle eventually led her to penury and her works were put up for auction to pay her debts. She died in Italy from pneumonia. Soon after her death her friends organized a public subscription in Bury St Edmunds where they had a fountain for horses and dogs installed in her name. During her career Ouida wrote more than 40 novels children's books and collections of short stories and essays. Her work had several phases. In 1863 when she was 24 she published her first novel Held in Bondage. She later claimed to have written her well-received novel Idalia 1867 at the age of 16. It featured a rebellious ingenue heroine who was sympathetic to Italian independence. In her early period her novels were considered "racy" and "swashbuckling" a contrast to "the moralistic prose of early Victorian literature" Tom Steele and a hybrid of the sensationalism of the 1860s and the proto-adventure novels being published as part of the romanticisation of imperial expansion. Later her work was more typical of historical romance though she never stopped commenting on contemporary society. She also wrote several stories for children. Under Two Flags one of her most famous novels described the British in Algeria. It expressed sympathy for the French colonists called pieds noirs—with whom Ouida deeply identified—and to some extent the Arabs. The novel was adapted for the stage and was filmed six times. The American author Jack London cited her novel Signa which he read at age eight as one of the eight reasons for his literary success. Bernhard Tauchnitz. hardcover
