1967réf. 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.

Being the main report of the Typhus Research Commission of the League of Red Cross Societies to Poland. x 222pp. 13 plates in the text plus 34 plates including 2 in color at the end; text diagrams. Cambridge MA: The League of Red Cross Societies at the Harvard University Press 1922. 267 x 192 mm. Original cloth some wear at spine and corners but sound. Very good. Presentation Copy inscribed by Wolbach on the front free endpaper: "Miss Clara A. Ricketts with the compliments of S. B. Wolbach." Bound in is a typed presentation letter signed from Wolbach to Miss Ricketts dated 23 October 1922 with the postmarked cover laid in loosely. First Edition of Wolbach's classic work identifying Rickettsia prowazekii as the pathogen causing epidemic typhus; Presented by the Author to the Sister of Pathologist Howard Taylor Ricketts 1871-1910 whose pioneering researches led to the identification of the Rickettsia genus of typhus- and Rocky Mountain spotted fever-causing bacteria. Wolbach is best known for elucidating the infection vectors-lice and ticks respectively-of typhus and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. In the present work Wolbach and his co-authors definitively identified the human body louse as the vector for epidemic typhus. Working on behalf of the League of Red Cross Societies' Typhus Research Commission to Poland Wolbach and parasitologist John Todd carried uninfected lice to Poland to demonstrate that these insects transmit the typhus-causing bacteria Rickettsia prowazekii to human subjects. "The carefully controlled experiments of Wolbach Todd and Palfrey eliminated all doubt that R. prowazekii was the causal agent in typhus" Garrison-Morton.com 5393. Wolbach's presentation letter to Clara Ricketts reads as follows: "My dear Miss Ricketts: I take great pleasure in sending you a copy of the Typhus Report of the League of Red Cross Societies Commission to Poland as I have learned through J. Christian Bay that you are anxious to obtain one. Sincerely yours S. B. Wolbach." Clara Ricketts a senior assistant at the John Crerar Library in Chicago would naturally have been interested in Wolbach's work which built upon and extended her late brother's investigations. Jens Christian Bay 1871-1962 mentioned in Wolbach's letter served as Chief Librarian at the Crerar Library from 1928 to 1947. . Harvard U.P. unknown
