Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Round the Next Corner. Previous owners name and date written neatly to inside cover. Slightly sunned spine. Red cloth with gilt lettering. With a Foreword by Paul Scofield. This book is a full-length life story and is intended for a wider and more general circle of readers. It is not just an actor's reminiscences, although I was an actor and nothing else for many years. But being never in my heart entrirely committed to that life, I gave it up for good at a critical peak in my progress, just at the point when I believe I had discovered that incommunicable secret of relaxation in the art of acting which is every player's aim. Part II of this book is account of the things that happened to me after I left the stage in 1954. It tells of the secondary vocations and the many surprises I found waiting for me round the corners. Illustrated. 190 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. 8vo, pp. 271, [1]. Original beige cloth, spine lettered in lilac. Spine slightly cocked with nick to heel, bumped and rubbed, a few marks. Bookseller pencil notes to front pastedown, inscribed by Farjeon in sepia pen to ffep: "Dearest Denys/ with all my love./ From Eleanor./ June 22nd 1952" and beneath in another hand in blue ink: "Bertha Rose./ given to me by Renée / in memory of Denys/ March 15th 1971." Else, clean and tight. A unique association copy. Good+ Denys Blakelock (1901-1970), actor, RADA teacher and childhood friend and lover of Laurence Olivier, became one of the closest friends of Farjeon's later life. The couple met when Blakelock was cast as King Nollekins of Norfolk in the first run of Farjeon's play The Silver Curlew at The Arts Theatre in 1949/1950 (an event celebrated in her inscription to our copy of Love Affair (ref. 2214), as well as in our inscribed copy of the The Fair Venetian (ref. 2213) the following festive season, when the play was revived at Fortune Theatre, London: "Dearest Denys Nollekins / from Eleanor Nellikins / to mark The Silver Curlew's / second London year./ Dec. 22nd 1950". Indeed, 1950 proved a hinge year for Farjeon, who had lost her long-time companion, George Earle (Pod) in November 1949 and was grieving deeply; it also saw the beginnings of her conversion to Catholicism. By their meeting, Blakelock "was an established victim of dark moods of depression and anxiety," which were taking a toll both personally and professionally. The friendship offered a new start for them both and very rapidly they became each other's emotional succour. They even dubbed their first trip away together in June 1951 their "honeymoon" holiday, which they commemorated over the 15 years of their friendship. Farjeon's inscription here "Dearest Denys/ with all my love./ From Eleanor./ June 22nd 1952" is likely such a remembrance. As Blakelock reflected in the closing pages of his memoir of Farjeon, Eleanor: "Eleanor Farjeon's life was so closely bound up with mine for that last long phase, if I were to paint a true picture of her it seemed to become increasingly impracticable to keep myself to any real extent in the background". (Blakelock, 1966). Less is known about Farjeon's friend, Bertha Hagart/ Rose: it seems likely she is the Royal Academy of Music (RAM)-trained, South African pianist, who was active professionally both in South Africa and Britain in the 1950s. If this is the case, it also seems probable that the two women met through Farjeon's elder brother Harry, who taught at RAM for 45 years. Whatever the case, Hagart was close enough to them both to be presented with Blakelock's cherished copies of Farjeon's books by his sister-in-law, the actor Renée Blakelock (1897-1973); a posthumous intertwining of their three lives, which would surely have pleased Farjeon, given her own practice of re-gifting books (see our other inscribed Farjeon copies).
