The Queen's Book of the Red Cross
London, Hodder & Stoughton. 1939, First Edition. Decorative Cloth, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 255 pages. A superb pre-war collection prepared nominally by HM The Queen (better known today as Her Majesty The Queen Mother) as a fund-raiser for the Red Cross. Includes a wonderful range of articles and poetms by authors including Hugh Walpole, John Masefield, T S Eliot, Gracie Fields, A A Milne, Daphne Du Maurier, Eric Ambler, Howard Spring, J B Morton, etc. Beautifully illustrated with many full-page Colour and B&W plates by artists including William Russell Flint, Edmund Dulac, Edmund Blampied, Rex Whistler, Mabel Lucie Attwell, etc. Contents Very Good. Light ageing/tanning on edges. Slight foxing on end-papers with inoffensive red crayon mark on front end-paper. Also plain label on front fixed end-paper - no idea why. All in bumped and worn original blue cloth decorated on front and spine in red, spine faded. Very Good.
