Very good/ good-only A pleasing association copy of this intimate celebration-cum-commemoration of the actor, costume designer, director and producer of the Pioneer Players, set down "all for love and nothing for reward," including contributions from Craig's partners Chris St. John and Clare Tony Atwood, her brother Edward Gordon Craig, plus, Cicely Hamilton, Vita Sackville-West and close friend, neighbour and this copy's inscriber, Violet Pym. Violet 'Vi' Pym had known Craig and St John since childhood, with "golden, happy" stretches of it spent at Smallhythe, with Ellen Terry, and at the couple's London flat. Following St John's death thirteen years later, Pym sorted the biographer's papers and shared her diaries with their mutual friend Vita Sackville-West, thus bringing to light (in VSW's words): "Christopher's horrifying document [] a love journal [and ] shattering record of her friendship with me".
