VIRGINIBUS PUERISQUE AND OTHER PAPERS

by Stevenson, Robert Louis

  • Used
  • Hardcover
London: Chatto & Windus, 1887. Small octavo. Original polished brick-red buckram, t.e.g., others untrimmed. From the collection of Arthur H. Houghton, with his book label on front pastedown. Cloth evidently treated at an early date with some sort of shellac-like fixative, a bit faded and worn, with offsetting to endsheets and short crack at toe of front inner hinge, otherwise a good, sound copy. Second edition, regular English issue. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title: "To my mother Robert Louis Stevenson." According to the Chatto and Windus stock book, 1000 copies of this edition were printed. The first edition appeared in 1881. Margaret Isabella (Balfour) Stevenson (1829-1897), or "Maggie" (as she was known to her family), married Thomas Stevenson in 1848 and gave birth to RLS in 1850. She had a strong and loving relationship with her son. Although quarrels between RLS and his father about religion, his career and his marriage were upsetting to the family, the family remained close. After her husband died in 1887, Maggie went with RLS and Fanny on their travels to America and the South Seas and even settled with them in Vailima. She returned to Edinburgh to live with her sister after RLS died. BEINECKE 74.
