Hardback. Etat : Good. No Jacket. First. 377 pages and 8 black and white illustrations complete. Neat inscription to f.e.p. Arthur Horace Todd from Knatchbull-Hugessen, E.H (author) amicus certus in re incerta cernitur (translations A true friend is discerned during an uncertain matter or a true friend is certain when certainty is uncertain (i.e., a friend in need is a friend indeed) (Ennius). Knatchbull-Hugessen served under Gladstone and 1880 was elevated to peerage as Baron Brabourne. His second wife was the niece of Jane Austen. In a letter of 1971, J. R. R. Tolkien recalled that, as a small child, his bedtime reading was the fairy stories of Knatchbull-Hugessen. He recalled especially being read one story of an ogre who catches his dinner by disguising himself as a tree. Signed by Author(s).
