Good+ Unusual A pleasing presentation copy of the first English edition of Walter Berendsohn's biography of the Swedish writer and Novel Laureate for Literature in 1909, Selma Lagerlöf, inscribed by its translator to the former steel and colliery worker, author and Oxford scholar, Roger Dataller (pseud. of Arthur Eaglestone), including a friendly ALS thanking him for taking "so much trouble on behalf of Dr, Berendsohn" and requesting copies of Dataller's book ("much liked here"), presumably one of his 1930s titles, perhaps A Pitman Looks at Oxford (1933) or Oxford Into Coal-field (1934). By 1934, Roger Dataller/ Arthur Eaglestone (1892-1980) was back in South Yorkshire working in adult education as a lecturer in English Literature at the WEA, as well as writing. His first book, From a Pitman's Notebook (1925), had led to the award of a Miners' Welfare Scholarship to New College, Oxford, where he had studied between 1928 and 1931 (and hence the later titles).
