Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. General edgewear, stain to bottom of spine. Scatter of fox spots to edges and endpapers, gently toned. Rare dust jacket… designed by Enid Marx.

One of 1210 copies of the only Hogarth Press run, published under Leonard and Virginia Woolf. An interesting memoir with some of the character of what today we would call auto-fiction, written by Francesca Allinson, a lesser-known figure in the Bloomsbury Group. Allinson was a polymath; writer, musician, and puppeteer. Known as Fresca to her friends, she lived an extraordinary life surrounded by artists and thinkers. She was a pacifist who established a community of conscious objectors during WWII. She died in 1945 by suicide, drowning herself in a river, echoing the death of her editor Virginia Woolf. She left letters to only two people: her friend and composer Michael Tippet, and her lover, Judith Wogan.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8vo., pale blue cloth lettered in gilt to backstrip; in the genuinely rare illustrated dustwrapper, printed in black and blue; Hogarth Press vignette to title page; with 7 chapter-head wood engravings and wrapper design by Enid Marx; The BOOK a w…onderful, bright copy; lightly bumped to spine tips; one tiny brown spot to spine and faint spotting to the final few pages at the fore-edge; else near Fine. The WRAPPER, seldom found in such Very Good++ condition, with a couple of light creases along the folds; one small chip to lower panel and a small superficial abrasion to the lower portion the only significant defects. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. First edition, sole UK printing, one of just 1210 copies issued by the Hogarth Press, and Marx's only work for the Woolf's (Woolmer 404). This copy from the personal library of Enid Marx, though with no indication of ownership. A Childhood was Allinson's sole literary work. Born in 1902, Enid Ellen Pulvermacher Allinson was known as 'Fresca' for most of her life, and grew up in the company of artists, her mother being the German Jewish artist Anna Pulvermacher, and her oldest brother Adrian educated at the Slade Art School - he later went on to become a member of the London Group. Allison was introduced to the press via Alice Ritchie, who was herself both a worker and an author at the press. She had been introduced to Ritchie in turn through Enid Marx, a close friend whom she knew through the art world, and who shared her interest in folk songs. Allison's life was cut sadly short when she committed suicide in 1945. A fictional biography, Allinson's alter ego in A Childhood is Charlotte, a girl who holds the strict behaviour of her parents responsible for her inability to surrender herself to another person. "My mother's restrained femininity, sobered through the worries and responsibilities of my father's career, had prepared me for nothing like this", she writes. Indeed, the author grew up in a rather close-knit family of non-conformists and radical pacifists, with her father in particular advocating a strict and unorthodox view concerning hygiene and diet. As she writes in her forward, "Charlotte is more like myself than anyone else if she strikes you as odd, have patience with her'. She also takes liberties with the chronology of the book, noting "the seasons of one year pass and at the same time Charlotte grows from about nine to fourteen. I have left out all mention of her precise age; partly because it does not matter and partly because I have not wished to shut her in too closely within the exact hours and places of her own experiences". In many ways, it could be argued that Virginia Woolf would find affinity with this style of writing, reminiscent of her own stream of consciousness style which dominated the majority of her own works. The author's tragic death by drowning in 1945 is furthermore an eerie echo of Virginia Woolf's in 1941. Exceedingly scarce with the wrapper in such condition. (Woolmer 404).

In den Warenkorb22 x 14cm. Hardcover with dustjacket, 187pp. Signed on the title page by illustrator Enid Marx. A very unusual spurious autobiography in first-person. From the dustjacket: "A book by a new writer which it is not altogether easy to classify. It is either biographical fiction or fictional biography. Miss Allinson in her foreword d…escribes the book thus: 'In the following pages, the seasons of one year pass and at the same time Charlotte grows from about nine to fourteen. I have left out all mention of her precise age; partly because it does not matter and partly because I have not wished to shut her in too closely within the exact hours and places of her own experience. Unavoidably, Charlotte is more like my- self than anyone else: yet if she strikes you as odd, have patience with her, for many of her contemporaries felt and acted very much as she did.'" Each chapter is heralded by a wood engraving by Enid Marx, who also designed the jacket. Very good condition indeed.

In den WarenkorbFIRST EDITION, the 7 engravings placed as chapter-headings, a couple of spots to title-page, the verso of this and facing Contents page faintly browned from previous insert, pp. 187, 8vo, original blue cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, slightly rubbed at extremities, slightly later gift inscription to flyleaf, a few spots to fr…ee endpapers, dustjacket with a design by Enid Marx, chipped at extremities with a little loss at foot of backstrip panel, lightly browned overall, repricing sticker to backstrip panel corresponding to discreet price in ink at head of front panel (5/-), some rubbing, good. Her sole literary work, scarce. An autobiographical novel: the dustjacket considers inconclusively that the book is 'either biographical fiction or fictional biography', whilst Allinson's Foreword avers, 'Charlotte is more like myself than anyone else: yet if she strikes you as odd, have patience with her'; the chronology of the narrative is no easier to classify as the author acknowledges, 'the seasons of one year pass and at the same time Charlotte grows from about nine to fourteen' but more straightforward are the design elements supplied by Allinson's friend Enid Marx, in her only work for the Woolfs. Allinson shared with Marx an interest in folk-forms, particularly folk-song a musician and puppeteer, she was among the closest friends of the composer Michael Tippett. The printed dedication of this book is to her partner, the actress Judith Wogan (of the Arts League of Service). Tippett and Wogan were the recipients of notes left by Allinson before she drowned herself in 1945. (Woolmer 414).
