1922307p. 12mo. Original full cloth binding decorated in green and pink. Sun Dial Library. Crome Yellow is the first novel by British author Aldous Huxley, first published in 1921. Here Huxley satirises the fads and fashions of the time. It is the story of a house party at Crome, a parodic version of Garsington Manor, home of Lady Ottoline Morrell, a house where authors such as Huxley and T. S. Eliot used to gather and write. There is a brief pre-figuring of Huxley's great later novel, Brave New World. OCC 4
1922Best.-Nr. 210CROME YELLOW by Aldous Huxley Chatto & Windus 1922 1st edition 2nd impression Huxley's first novel is a satirical comic tale containing themes which he would develop in his later and more famous works. This copy was a gift to Gertrude G Wienholt wife of Edward Arthur Wienholt formerly Gertrude Gladys Violet Sprot. The couple were married in 1919 and lived at Selkirk Scotland where there was a B.O.A.F.G. lodge which was a masonic organization fully named The British Order of Ancient & Free Gardeners. It is not known if Huxley was involved with the BOAFG in any way. The book is signed with the initials A.H. and has Huxley's photo from a newspaper cutting pasted into the blank front end page. It is not known if this is Huxley's signature which varied through his decades of autographing books and letters and gift inscription although the "A" in BOAFG matches some seen in his hand-written correspondence letters and the "H" in A.H. is not unlike others in some of his later autographs plus the unusual "t" in Gertrude matches an example in his handwritten poem Leda. So while this book is plausibly inscribed and signed by the author it is being sold here as a collectable novelty which clearly has rarity for its assocation with the B.O.A.F.G. It would of course not be outlandish for Huxley as a member of the Fabian Society to have hobnobbed with those of the British Order of Ancient & Free Gardeners early in his writing career although this book's inscription would be the only known record of any such association. A most likely interpetation is that Huxley was giving a private address to the BOAFG which was hosted by Gertrude who asked him to sign her copy of his then new book and she later pasted in the photograph from a newspaper article. Having owned this beautiful little book for nearly 20 years it is time for it now to pass out into the world for a wider adventure. Chatto & Windus hardcover
