Aggiungi al carrello12pp., 4to. On the rectos of 12 leaves, stitched with red thread into yellow wrappers with crude design of airplanes in action. From the papers of the Labour MP Tom Driberg, and with 'Mr Driberg' in pencil at head of front wrap. In a preface dated 21 August 1941 Knight refers to 'twelve fateful and ferocious months', and critici…ses 'a deplorable lack of vision and imagination everywhere. It was necessary for the Germans to inflict on London one of their severest and most successful attacks before we realised the necessity of co-ordination in the Fire-fighting Services of this country.' Knight's preface is followed by a two-page letter, purportedly written on18 August 1941 from '"Somewhere" in Whitehall, S.W.1.', by 'A Son of John Bull'. This concludes: 'It is possible the pubication of FIVE HUNDRED HOURS IN THE BLITZ will bring you no new friends. None the less I thank you for it.' The text is preceded by a note reading: 'Most of what follows is culled from rough notes written "on the spot" of the blitz, and the reader's indulgence is requested for the scrappy nature of the same'. There is a full page of things 'Seen and heard in the Blitz'; a full-page poem titled 'Reflections in the Blitz'; another full-page poem titled 'The Fire Watcher', and a final full-page 'Dictionary of Terms used by Fire-Watchers'. Excessively scarce: no copy in the British Library or on COPAC, the latter listing twelve titles by Knight, all published in the 1930s, ranging from 'Intimate Glimpses of Mysterious Tibet and Neighbouring Countries' (1930) to 'Sex and Rejuvenation' (1933). From the titles of the other works a distinct pro-German bias is to be discerned.

Aggiungi al carrelloInevitably sole edition of this evocative Home Front journal by and for the crews of a London A. R. P. (Air Raid Precautions) post as a local morale booster and fund raiser. Numbered 31 of an unknown limitation, only the Imperial War Museum lists a set, theirs complete in 36 issues through to May 1942. A scarce resource, offerin…g genuine insights into London's, uncensored, mood under the Blitz. This is a typical wartime mix, carrying harrowing reports of the impact of war, "Calvary in St James'. almost half Jermyn Street was a shambles"; facetious humour, "Is it only a rumour that the favourite drink of the Italian Navy is port?"; local notes, "the oldest lamp post in London. now, unfortunately, it has suffered at the hand of the Vandal. destroyed"; some dubious recipes, "half a pint of Churchill sauce"; occasional reports from "other parts of the field"; appeals for volunteers; incitements to "carry on!"; all alongside not infrequent moments of genuinely moving introspection; "Piccadilly during the People's War (at 9 p.m.). Traffic lights flashing monotonously green - yellow - red. The noticeable ticking of the automatic lights' machinery. An occasional taxi and car. A rare bus. Perhaps fifty persons in Piccadilly Circus. The Statue of Eros boarded up and protected by rotting sandbags. The hot blast of exhausted air from the underground exits. The rush of fire-engines towards fire. The pleasing gap where the 'Fifty Shilling Tailors' had their shop. The stark picture of the blackened ruins of St James' church opposite. The whispered appeals of 'Hello darling' from mysterious female forms. The whizzing of shrapnel on the street. The criss-cross of searchlight beams in the heavens. Not a single newsboy. A solitary cat crossing the street". Circulation rose rapidly, issue 5 claiming 2,000 copies, and the following number proclaiming five times that, "Last week's issue was completely sold out. Although we keep on printing more and more copies we are quite unable to meet the demand. We claim the BIGGEST SALES of any Blitzkrieg News-sheet in Britain. Copies are being sent as historic mementoes to every part of the world". A "Final Notice" in issue 24 notes that there are for sale "a few bound volumes containing the first 24 issues at Six Guineas ($30)", maybe about £1,000 today in real terms. All moneys raised from the Lyre went to the local St James' Bomber Fund, "costs of production are borne privately". Folio. pp. 80 spirit-duplicated text in all on variously coloured paper stock. Original three-quarter - spine and fore-edges - greyish yellow buckram, spine lettered longitudinally in black, attractive matte black patterned paper boards, golden stars on a wavy grid pattern. Pictorial masthead. Just a little rubbed and soiled, endpapers slightly toned; text with occasional spots of foxing, but overall clean and sound, very good.
