Laminated, illustrated light card covers. 8vo. Covers rubbed at edges and a little toned and faded, reading creases to spine. This copy from the library of the late George R P Gush, to whom it is inscribed. Gush was head of history at West Kent College but is perhaps better remembered as a key contributor to the development of early wargaming, and as an active wargamer especially in Renaissance wargames. His Renaissance Armies (1975) has become a classic work on the topic. He founded the Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society in the late 1960s, remaining its chairman until 2007. A regular contributor to various wargaming and modelling magazines, he authored with Andrew Finch A Guide to Wargaming (1980) and the well-regarded Wargames Rules for Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries.

First edition of this powerful novel that follows the journey of a horse during WWI. Octavo, original publisher's pictorial boards. In near fine condition. Cover design by Victor Ambrus. War Horse by Michael Morpurgo is a poignant and powerful novel that follows the journey of a horse named Joey during World War I. Narrated from Joeyâs perspective, the story begins with his early life on a farm in England, where he forms a deep bond with his young owner, Albert. However, when Joey is sold to the army, he is thrust into the horrors of war. Over the course of the novel, Joey experiences the brutality of battle, the challenges of survival, and encounters with both human and animal soldiers. In 2011, War Horse was adapted into a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg. The film, much like the novel, focuses on Joey's experiences during the war, while also expanding on the story of Albertâs search for him. Spielbergâs adaptation is known for its impressive cinematography and the emotional depth conveyed through both the human and animal performances. The movie received critical acclaim for its portrayal of the horrors of war, as well as its focus on the deep bond between Joey and Albert. It was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and helped to further popularize Michael Morpurgoâs story, reaching a global audience and bringing the novelâs themes of love, loss, and resilience to the big screen.…
