She was the oldest daughter of Robert Needham Cust and his wife Maria Hobart, and was born at Langdown House, Hampshire, the Hobart family home from 1849. Two months later her barrister father set off for British India, then torn by rebellion, where he would make a reputation as a colonial administrator and linguist. She had two sisters and two brothers; her mother died in 1864 a week after giving birth to a daughter. Her father returned from India; when back there in a senior administrative position, he took another wife, Emma Carlyon, who died in childbirth in 1867. He left India, and married again in 1868. Wherry's relationship with her father was intense, difficult and marred by grudges held. There was a serious break after her marriage. In 1881, Wherry married the surgeon George Edward Wherry. Wherry also trained as a nurse at Leicester Infirmary. During World War I, Wherry was stationed in Paris in the Women's Emergency Canteen at the Gare du Nord where she supported Allied forces from 1915 to 1918. Wherry is buried in St John the Baptist Churchyard. Her collected correspondence is archived by the University of Florida. --Wikipedia ; poem excerpt from "prince Lucifer", by Alfred Austin, then Poet Laureate; includes the poems "In the Golden Age" and "The Apotheosis of Beauty" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, and a selection from the poem, "Medea in Athens", by Augusta Davies Webster; excerpt from the poem, "The Earthly Paradise" by William Morris ; "The Twilight of the Gods - The Dead Pan" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, selections of poems by Matthew Arnold, Christina Rossetti, Peake, Shirley, Fletcher, Keats, Milton, Robert Browning, William Shakespeare, Thomas Haywood, Rowley, Longfellow, R.

Eliot's "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" by Gerald Wilde, and eight full-page drawings for "The Ancient Mariner" by Mervyn Peake. Also a full-page reproduction of a handwritten poem: "The Antiquary, 1944" by Augustus John. ***'There has been no other periodical since the Great War that has gathered so many poets into its pages.' - Francis Scarfe in 'Auden & After' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition, published during the Second World War in February 1945, although the book states December 1944. Complete in its original thin wartime colour illustrated dustwrapper - the three full-page colour lithographs (one double-page) by Gerald Wilde are clean and bright and in very fine condition, and with the eight-pages of drawings by Mervyn Peake, and a full-page handwritten poem by Augustus John. Extremely scarce to find complete in the original dustwrapper - especially in the less commonly found light beige cloth binding. Of interest to collectors of poetry first editions, the publications of Poetry London, collectors of the illustrations of Mervyn Peake, and of the artwork of Gerald Wilde. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Mervyn Peake (Illustrations), Gerald Wilde (Lithographs and dustwrapper) (illustrateur).
