Aggiungi al carrelloFirst printings of these paperback reissues with new introductions by Michael Mitchell. Signed by the author, both inscribed by Wilson Harris to Frank Pike, editor at Faber and Faber (who first published both books). Original illustrated card wrappers. Fine copies, the bindings square and firm, the spines uncreased, the contents… clean and bright throughout. Peepal Tree Anniversary sticker affixed to the front cover of 'The Eye of the Scarecrow'. Both volumes priced £7.99 to the rear panel. 'Heartland', first published by Faber and Faber in 1964, is inscribed "For Frank / with warmest good wishes / Wilson and Margaret / 12 June, 2009"; 'The Eye of the Scarecrow' (published by Faber in 1965) is inscribed "For Frank / with warm good wishes / Wilson / 20 August 2011". Margaret was Margaret Whitaker, Scottish poet and playwright and Harris' wife from 1959 to 2010, the year she died (which explains her absence from the second inscription). The recipient is Frank Pike, editor at Faber and Faber. From the 1960s onwards, Pike was responsible for the Faber drama list, recruiting Tom Stoppard, Simon Gray, Brian Friel, Sam Shepard, and Alan Bennett, among others, as well as working closely with authors already publishing with the firm, notably Samuel Beckett.
