Detailed accounts of the work of a largely unknown itinerant Massachusetts housewright and general builder Simeon P. Pullen. Housewrights were somewhat different than simple carpenters in that they could make plans organize other workers and bring a building project to completion. Little is known about Simeon P. Pullen personally although his marriage to Mary L. Bradford appears in the Fall River Mass. records in 1829. His work detailed here was for jobs in Fairhaven Dartmouth New Bedford Mansfield and Providence R.I. and he boarded his family on location. For a job in Dartmouth in April 1 1834: "Simeon P. Pullen moved into David Crosby house the last day of march 1834 hired the hole consern for one year and to pay him forty dollars rent". His crew at the time included David Cardy who began work May 12 1834 for $5 a month Crapo probably Isaac Crapo and Sparrows whose first name is not given. The next job was in Fairhaven with Mr. Pearce "to finish a part of Mr. Abernathy hous for $225. and find more new stuff ". In 1833: "Mr. William and Charles Mason to Pearce & Pullen for work on Andrew Rodman house witch thay agree to pay and on Miss rodman hous". In Dartmouth in 1834 Pullen did a major job building a bridge for Joseph Gifford at $1.17 per worker per day. In Providence in 1836 & 1837 Pullen was in partnership with one Isaac G. Brown. They worked on projects for Mr. Baker Elisha Durfee's wharf and D. Vincent. "Providence August 1837. D. Vincint to Brown & Pullen for one door frame $1.00 to one window fraim .50 for putting the pediment a crost the north end $12 for a pot closet under the garet stairs $2.00 to cobboards in the chimney $6.00 for repairing the well drum .50 to buildin the fence at .33 per foot $13.33." In August of 1838 Pullen built a jeweller's shop in Providence for Benjamin B. Brownell for $450. He and his crew worked on the steamboat John W. Richmond as well as for "Dr. Arminton". The steamboat John W. Richmond plied the waters between New York and Providence and was named for a successful physician who was also known for holding much of the State of Rhode Island's Revolutionary Debt in bonds and stocks. The last jobs in the book are back in the Fairhaven and New Bedford area. unknown

1967Best.-Nr. 50416London: George Allen & Unwin 1967. First printing. Near fine. First UK edition of Dahl's escapist fruit adventure - a beautiful copy. Originally published in the U.S. in 1961 and newly illustrated by Simeon for this first British edition JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH was described in Allen & Unwin's foreword as Dahl's "first book for children" somewhat accurate if one disregards his earlier THE GREMLINS 1943 originally intended as the basis for a Disney film. Dahl's genius as a writer for all age groups lies in his refusal to strip his children's books of the pure unadulterated nastiness at the core of his most memorable adult short stories; sex is absent but the vulgarity and meanness in the darkness of the human heart is if anything greater and more fearsome here: for Dahl hatred of injustice is born early in a child's spirit and festers until it finds some awful Aunt-crushing catharsis. The gruesome revenges taken by the weak upon the strong are correspondingly satisfying unfettered by impulses to mercy and as deeply transgressive as ever: Dahl's works for children have often been objected to by adults and this particular book regularly features on lists of banned or challenged books in American libraries - but for many children it is the spark of fantasy within bleak settings that appeals to the imagination without becoming saccharine. Tim Burton famously told Dahl's widow he wanted to turn JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH into a film because "it's the only book that ever gave me any hope when I was a child" D IS FOR DAHL. Given the laminate boards this book is extremely difficult to find in such lovely condition. 9.25'' x 6.5''. Original laminated pictorial boards. No jacket as issued. Illustrated by Simeon in black and white. 110 2 pages. Laminate beginning to pull a tiny bit near joints though entirely intact else sound and bright. Faint marginal toning to leaves.
