LLEWELYN POWYS (interest) : An Anthology. Extracts from Letters Written by Miss May Chesshire, a West Country Poet, to Llewelyn Powys. Selected and edited by Diana Harding. A pre-publication prospectus plus a letter

Stuart Guthrie, Horsham, 1937

A pre-publication prospectus. Small 4to. A single sheet, folded to form four leaves. The first leaf lettered in black and green with an ornate green border. The whole folded once for posting, and lightly creased and toned. Laid-in is a carbon copy of a type written letter from bibliophile and Powysiana authority Lloyd Emerson Siberell to Llewelyn Powys: "It is splendid to see your hand again, on the envelope that contained the prospectus of what appears to be a splendid forth-coming volume. Many thanks for sending it. I shall order a copy from Stuart Guthrie at once. It is fine that you can be up again and active". The letter continues for two further paragraphs, detailing Powys-penned reviews Siberell has recently read, and also reviews of his own, and extolling the virtues of Arthur Ficke's new collection 'The Secret and Other Poems' which includes a verse to John Cowper Powys. Powy' address details have been inked to the base of the letter. The whole enclosed within the original mailing envelope hand-addressed by Llewelyn Powys. The envelope is post-marked 1936, suggesting that the publication of the anthology ("Ready September") took somewhat longer than the prospectus implies as the book was not published until 1937.
