Ward, Lock & Company, London., 1891. First edition. Royal octavo. pp viii, 334. Original parchment-backed boards with gilt design by Charles Ricketts, bevelled edges. Top edge gilt. Number 176 of 250 copies signed by the author.From the library of Sir Winston Churchill: laid in is a slip of paper on which is written, ''de M. Winston Churchill - Château du Muguet''. The Château du Muguet, in the Val-de-Loire region of France, was the setting for the penultimate session of the Anglo-French Supreme Allied Council on 11th and 12th June, 1940. Even as the Nazis were at the gates of Paris, Churchill flew to southern France in one last attempt to try and stiffen the resolve of the French military and promise them every assistance he could muster. Although de Gaulle was receptive to Churchill's ideas for a heroic defence of Paris, Pétain was already resigned to defeat. It is poignant that Churchill chose this book to accompany him on his mission, as it was to Paris that Wilde fled in an attempt to escape the stigma of his imprisonment.The book was among the effects sold at the auction of the Château du Muguet's contents . The slip of paper with its inscription is contemporaneous with Churchills stay and is likely to have been written shortly after his understandably hurried departure from the Château to indicate that the book had been inadvertently left behind .In his book The Literary Churchill, Jonathan Rose quotes Wilde's son Vyvyan Holland: 'Winston Churchill was once asked whom he would like to meet and talk with in after life and he replied, without hesitation, ''Oscar Wilde'' '. In the 1890's Wilde was very friendly with Churchill's mother Jennie and described her as ''both beautiful and brilliant''. Churchill himself was given on occasion to quoting from Wilde's plays, both in private conversation and public speeches.Inner hinges cracking but tight. Spine rubbed, chipped and splitting. Covers a bit marked and rubbed. Preserved in a recently custom-made quarter red morocco folding box by Sangorski and Sutcliffe, Churchill's choice of binders for his own books for presentation.
