Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The second book in the series of the Schmidt Chronicles finds our hero, Teddy Schmidt, and his gray-haired companions in a tight spot. Their world is falling apart. Teddy's father is dead. The hometown of Teddy's youth has been destroyed by creatures out of a nightmare. Federal, state, and local aut…horities are hunting Teddy and his brother, Michael, for murders they did not commit. Other frightening things also pursue the group from Wyoming as they travel to Avalon. Their escape from Laramie was harrowing, but it was only the beginning of their trials. The bloodthirsty minions of the Shadow Lord are hot on their trail. Aided by Artamis, a pixie warrior, Teddy and his companions disappear into the mountainous wilderness of western Wyoming. They are led to a high mountain pass and the hidden passageway to Avalon. Avalon is a wondrous land, filled with mythical creatures and breathtaking vistas. It is a world where magic is the law of the land. After the group arrives in the foreign land, the war continues. They soon find that their escape from Wyoming has only placed them in more danger. An unknown traitor keeps the enemy well-informed. The Shadow Lord knows they have come to Avalon, and he now bends his will to find and destroy them. Every plan and every step is fraught with danger. Teddy is horrified by the power of the Shadow Lord and the creatures that serve him. With each small success, another-larger-calamity follows. However, the setbacks only harden the resolve of Teddy and his comrades.

In den WarenkorbSitwell and Renishaw collaborated on the play 'Gentle Caesar' (published in 1942), and the last two letters would appear to concern a possible film adaptation. All three items very good on lightly aged paper. Letter One ('Friday Renishaw'): 12mo, 2 pp. 18 lines of text. Apparently written around the time of the play's compositio…n. Sitwell is 'delighted' that Minney is 'already immersed in Pares's book. I have just read the Czar and Empress Marie's Letters.' He has 'marked (in the preface mostly) what I thought helpful for atmosphere, or amusing'. The 'dates are wrong', but they 'help one, again, to understand the psychological side'. Letter Two (5 April [1942?]): 12mo: 1 p. Eleven lines of text. Letterhead with engraving of Renishaw Hall. Apparently written around the time of the play's publication. He thanks Minney for 'that telegram' and hears that 'the book is going well'. Asks for news of 'the film', and gives details of his plans for next few days. On his arrival in London asks Minney to 'Just send me a card.' Letter Three (4 January 1944): Landscape 12mo (leaf dimensions 12.5 x 20 cm): 2 pp. Thirty-four lines of text. In stamped envelope, addressed in autograph. Written in green ink. He meant to reply, but 'was so behindhand with [his] work, owing to that wretched run of illness', that he 'was in bed altogether a fortnight'. He wishes to 'finish the 2nd volume [of his autobiography] before we begin on the film'. 'What a bore about Gentle Caesar - But this year will, I believe, be better for it. Unless my St. Joan of Arc voices deceive me.' He looks forward to 'better news' of 'Gentle Caesar', though he admits he doesn't 'see where it's coming from': 'Is it true that C. B. Cochran has gone to India?'.

In den WarenkorbSee the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. The five items are in good condition, lightly aged, with each on a 4to bifolium, and all folded for postage. In a neat and attractive hand. The text of each letter is on the first leaf, and the first two letters are addressed by Porteus on the reverse of the second leaf, each with bro…ken seals in red wax. In Letters Four and Five Porteus lays out his objections to Maurice's 'Elegy on the late Right Honourable William Pitt', published in 1806 under the name 'T. M.' ONE (St James's Square, 10 April 1898): 1p, 4to. Addressed to 'Revd. Mr Maurice / No. 19. Princes Street / Cavendish Square'. He is 'overwhelmed by Business', but hopes to read Maurice's letter and two pamphlets 'when I move into the Country'. 'The Point you are labour is a curious & important one, & I have little doubt of your being able to substantiate your opinion.' TWO (Sundridge, 26 August 1800): 2pp, 4to. Maurice's letter arrived while he was 'on a Visit in Oxfordshire'. He thanks him for the enclosed preface, 'which I hope will finish your Labours & afford you Leisure to attend more to your Health'. 'It is to be lamented that the Situation at the Museum, which most of your Friends thought peculiarly adapted to you is become unpleasant to you; & I think it will deserve a little further consideration from you before you resolve upon Exchanging it, even if you were permitted. That Permission does not rest solely with the Archbishop; but if you continue in the same mind when I return to London in the Winter & have an opportunity of seeing the Archbishop, I will have some conversation with his Grace on the subject, & will communicate to him your wishes.' THREE (Sundridge, 26 September 1800): 1p, 4to. Franked to 'Revd Mr Maurice / British Museum / London' from 'Sevenoakes - August / Twenty Six. 1800 B. London'. He has returned from 'a Visit in Hampshire' to find 'the five last Volumes of the Indian Antiquities which you was so obliging as to send me; & of which I beg that I may be allowed to pay the current Price''. As Maurice has communicated his wishes 'to the ABp & Bp of Lincoln', Porteus will 'not fail to converse with them on that subject when we meet'. FOUR (Sundridge, 4 September 1806): 2pp, 4to. He is sending a banker's draft for ten guineas. 'I have read your Elegy on Mr Pitt, & think it has great merit & is written in the true Poetical energy & ardor. To a few expressions & a few lines I have some objections'. One of these is Porteus's use of the word 'saviour': 'too strong & too sacred an expression to be applied to any human Being however great'. He goes into greater detail in explaining why it is 'going too far' to suggest that 'any of the Human Race immediately after Death is appointed to 'Minister to Heaven's Eternal King'". Regarding one turn of expression: 'There are acts of Power that belong solely to the Almighty; & the last expression is so peculiarly appropriated to our blessed Lord that it is surely very improper to preidcate it of any other Person whatever.' While he is sure that no offence was meant, he urges Maurice to 'reconsider & remove' all 'ambiguity'. FIVE (Clifton, 26 August 1807, but the year apparently a mistake for 1806): 2pp, 4to. Having received a 'pacquet by the Bristol Mail', he laments that Maurice has not followed his advice, 'both with respect to the Mode of Publication & the Alteration of the Passage to which I objected. - By printing the Poem at your own risque [sic] on so large & expensive a scale you will, I fear, again involve yourself in difficulties which you will not easily surmount: & by retaining the Objectionable Line you will, I am persuaded, prejudice many serious Persons against your Poem, which in other respects has considerable merit. - Indeed in looking again at the whole of the Portrait you have drawn of that truly great man whom you celebrate (& of whom I think as highly as any man can possibly do) I perceive several other expressions which appear to me objectio.
