Hard cover Crown 8vo., in original green publisher's trade cloth with pictorial gilt to front board and spine, 158 pp. No dust jacket.

New York: Ballantyne Books, 2020 First International Edition, third printing. Hard cover, 8vo., (measuring 6 ½ x 9 ½ inches) in mint colored paper covered boards, a light blue spine, titles in gilt. In a similar colored, art deco-influenced dust jacket, now protected in mylar. Condition: Near Fine, with one small scuff to front board; d/j/ is Fine. Allende's best selling novel is based on some true events of the Spanish Civil War. Her characters, an unlikely couple, undertake a dangerous mountain journey to France, and thence sail aboard the cargo ship "Winnepeg" to exile in Chile, an escape organized by the Chilean poet and diplomat Pablo Neruda in the late 1930's. From a review by Paula McLain in the Telegraph (2020): "In "A Long Petal of the Sea," as in much of Allende's fiction, there is the sense that every human life is an odyssey, and that how and where we connect creates the fabric of our existence: the source of our humanity." .

Description:
London: William Pickering, 1837 387pp. One of 250 copies printed. Scarce first edition of the ground-breaking fantasy novel by Sara Coleridge (1802-1852), the only daughter of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). Sara Coleridge was a self-taught classical scholar who also learned French, German, Italian and Spanish. She put this to excellent use in her acclaimed 1822 translation of Martin Dobrizhoffer's "Account of the Abipones", about his missionary travels in South America. She also began writing works for her children, which were later published. *** Her longest orginal work, Phantasmion, is a precursor to George MacDonald's "Phantastes" (1858). In both works, the protagonist is met by a spirit-like form who introduces him to a world parallel to our own, focused on the natural world and it's powers. *** In turn, the works of George MacDonald were a major inspiration for C.S.Lewis's Narnia books, "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe", etc. *** In publisher's three-quarter leather binding, with… Read More
