A propos de cet article

An Intimate Portrait of George Bernard Shaw by His Long-Time Secretary An attractive early printing of Thirty Years with G.B.S. by Blanche Patch, published by Victor Gollancz Ltd. in January 1951. Although not the true first edition, this is the Third Impression, issued in the same month as the first publication, making it an early and desirable printing of one of the finest personal memoirs of George Bernard Shaw. Blanche Patch worked alongside Shaw for three decades as his secretary, assistant, and trusted confidante. Drawing upon first-hand experience, she provides an intimate portrait of the Nobel Prize-winning playwright, revealing his daily routines, working methods, humour, friendships, correspondence, and private life. The result is one of the most authentic and engaging biographies ever written about Shaw. Illustrated with photographic plates, the book captures both the public figure and the private man through the observations of someone who knew him exceptionally well. Shipping Notice:

Description de la boutique

Step into the world of Cranston & Perry, where every shelf holds a little history and every book has a story beyond the one printed on its pages. We seek out books with character, from time-worn editions with foxed pages, beautiful bindings and forgotten inscriptions, to collectable children’s books, literary classics, unusual finds and modern voices worth rediscovering. Some are rare. Some are wonderfully ordinary. Some have travelled through generations before reaching us. What matters is that each deserves to find the right reader and a new place on the shelf. Part antiquarian bookseller, part treasure hunter and entirely devoted to books, Cranston & Perry celebrates literature in all its forms: beautiful, rebellious, curious, scholarly, nostalgic and occasionally rather strange. Every book has a past. Every reader begins another chapter. We simply bring the two together.…
