Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8vo. xx, 102, [6] pp. In the publisher's stiff card wraps, ink-stamped to front board and spine. Inscribed "To Ma." by the author to title page. The largely-ignored book of the noted litigant and amateur soprano of the Victorian era, Georgina Weldon, which came about through her association with the descendants of Karl Wilhelm Naundorff, one of a number of pretenders who claimed to be Louis XVII of France. She enjoyed a colourful life which included having a lunacy order against her, two spells in prison and a constant stream of litigation (by 1900 she had brought over a hundred cases to court) which she always conducted herself without counsel, becoming known as the "Portia of the Law Courts". On the musical side, her singing career benefitted from a "close association" with Charles Gounod who came to live with her and her husband at Tavistock House in Bloomsbury whilst working on his opera "Polyeucte". Rumours of the affair drove him back to Paris and his wife, whereupon Georgina refused to send on his personal belongings, including the draft of his opera. Only when he had virtually reconstructed the musical score, nearly a year later, did she return the original draft to him with her name scrawled diagonally across each page in crayon.

/ Written and illustrated by "Norroy". London : Dean & Son, [1884]. [BOUND WITH] The Strange Adventures of a Carp. By "Norroy", author of A Tale of a Whale. London : Dean & Son, [1884]. Two works bound in one, octavo (190 x 145 mm), publisher's cloth-backed pictorial boards (rubbed and with light edge wear), pp. 19; 19; illustrations throughout (some full-page); contents clean and sound, a very good example. These charmingly illustrated tragi-comic stories in verse are both first editions, which - although also issued separately - are here bound together in one volume by the publisher. "Norroy" was the pseudonym used by H. F. Browne, a Canadian illustrator with a playful eye for detail and a wickedly sharp wit. The first story is a biographical account of a whale, who is hunted by whalers and killed 'Dead as a door nail'. (His remains, however, can be seen in the local history museum and the stays of a bodice). The second narrates the adventures of a carp, as told to the author by a cod ?Of high renown and race? The carp meets a similarly sad fate to that of the whale: of course - he is caught and eaten.

1st Edn,. 19 pages, a comic tale written in verse with humorous illus of carp to page margins and full page pictorial card covers, a vg+ copy of a fragile book. The tale ends tragically "I gave him to the cook and she boiled him without delay!".
