1925réf. 376370New York: Brentano's 1925. 24 pp. 8vo. Printed self wrappers quite worn. Interior Fine correction to p. 9. 24 pp. 8vo. Patience Worth the spirit of a woman who supposedly lived in the late 17th century in Dorsetshire England and immigrated to America before being killed by Native Americans began communicating with Pearl Leonore Curran of Mound City Illinois in 1913. Patience gave inspiration through a ouija board and in the form of vivid pictorial visions. This collaboration between spirit and human woman produced several novels prose and poetry of which this is a collection. Inscription to the front wrapper reads "With best wishes To Dr. . from . E. L. Beach 175 E 80th St." And with seemingly more divined poetry "From Patience I in ing have poured this wine within a cup. Let those who hath thirst - drink. For the self shall be as the peace upon his soul. And the goblet shall ne'er run dry." In keeping with much of the religious undertones to Patience's poetry this passage recalls John 4:14 "whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." An Easter Greeting is an anthology of verse poetry with interjections by Patience in something approximating what a 17th century rural woman would sound like "Haed I a pettiskirt wi' a proper frill / I'd sit on a throne fit for a princess." A rare product of the spirit realm. Brentano's unknown books

1973réf. 4922New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich 1973. First edition. Hardcover. Red cloth boards. Very good in good dust wrapper. 211 pages. 24.5 x 15 cm. Presentation copy warmly inscribed to Yogi Berra: "Dearest Yogi and Family - These 'Pots' will send the Ball over the Fence. With love - your ever-lovin' sister & Umpire Pearl." Actress singer and born raconteur Pearl Bailey brought her gift for storytelling to the kitchen in this exuberant blend of recipes reminiscence and philosophy. This copy carries an especially appealing association: Bailey's friendship with baseball great Yogi Berra. A devoted New York Mets fan she attended Game 5 of the 1969 World Series - Berra then serving as first base coach - and she was famously captured on film shouting "Did he hit him! Oh it's amazin' - AMAZIN'!" Her excitement and personality featured prominently in the official highlight reel of that championship series. Bailey's rapport with the team continued after their historic win. During the ticker-tape parade that followed she performed in Bryant Park near the New York Public Library in front of a crowd of thousands. As The New York Times Oct. 21 1969 recalled she appeared "dressed in a black suit and black hat fringed with fun" joining Metropolitan Opera baritone Robert Merrill sing a lively duet of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" with broadcaster Ralph Kiner lending commentary. Part memoir part cookbook Pearl's Kitchen invites the reader into Bailey's home - its rhythms humor and heart. Her recipes come suffused with song and story a reflection of her singular warmth both onstage and off. A lovely presentation copy linking two American originals. Interior clean. Boards toned. Dust wrapper toned and chipped at edges with small closed tear to front cover. Covered in protective mylar. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich hardcover books
