Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First Edition. Linklater, Eric. God Likes Them Plain: Short Stories. London: Jonathan Cape, [1935]. First edition. Octavo, pp. [1-6] 7 [8-10] 11-317 [318-320: blank] [321-328: publisher's ads]. Original gray cloth interwoven with blue and orange threads, front and spine panels stamped in reddish-brown, bottom edge of text block rough-trimmed. Early dated gift inscription on front free endpaper. Top corners of text lightly bumped, spine just a bit sunned, a very good copy in good price-clipped pictorial dust jacket lacking bottom two-thirds of spine panel. #3758. $25. The author's first collection of short fiction. Five of the stories make impressive use of well-established supernatural motifs and situations, while some of the others add hints. The ironic title story is presented as a modern fairy tale about a medieval storyteller, a scoundrel who pursues only beautiful women, taking pity on them because God seems to prefer the plain ones (presumably since they are less vulnerable to certain temptations). Three others follow a similar path, taking religious situations and breathing fresh life into them without sucking all the old life out. A fifth, set more realistically in the present, offers an elliptical demonstration of the hypnotic power of music. The author is "an absolutely superb prose stylist whose short stories and novels are not only delightfully entertaining but thematically substantive as well." -- Tymn (ed), Fantasy Literature, pp. 128-9. Its absence from Reginald is probably due to R's rule that a majority of short stories in a collection must be fantastic in order to qualify for inclusion. Its absence from Bleiler's Checklist (1948; 1978) was rectified later by its inclusion in The Guide to Supernatural Fiction, #1024, where Bleiler calls it "amusing material, told with Linklater's light touch.".…

"In addition to his brilliant success as foreign correspondent in Russia and as author of the Swallows & Amazons series of books for children, Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) produced two irresistible fishing books. The first of these, Rod and Line (1929), a collection of pieces originally written for The Guardian newspaper, is probably the most delightful fisherman's bedside book ever produced. Arthur Ransome shared with Harry Plunket Greene a most appealing sense of humour, as well as a passion for fishing and fishing history. But unlike the author of Where the Bright Waters Meet, Ransome was no chalkstream man; he was from the North, lived for years in the Lake District, and did most of his fishing on local rivers and tarns. He confessed to being no more than an average performer with the rod, content to creel pike or perch and the odd eel when nothing finer was available. His skill as a writer, however, was of the first rank. No one has bettered Ransome's wonderful descriptions of fishing days, nor evoked with such art the characters of old anglers, fly-tyers and companions. For sheer enjoyment, Rod and Line takes the prize." .…

Early Printing to coincide with the publication of the first trade edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom in the same year.

SCARCE IN ORIGINAL CLOTH IN PLEASING CONDITION. "A full and intimate account of Lawrence's life and adventures. It is simply written and is interesting for the new light it throws on his character and guiding motives. It fills up the puzzling gaps left by A REVOLT IN THE DESERT and gives much remarkable and authentic history not even contained in THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM, the famous privately-owned quarto of which REVOLT IN THE DESERT is an abridgement" The maps are important as they provide clarity to understanding the area considered Arab at the time, the movements of Lawrence and the Arabs, the ride to Akaba, Lawrence's rides across the Arab area, and the campaign of the Arab revolt in the north and allow the reader to witness the path of the Arab revolt that Lawrence led with Feisal and the other Arab leaders. By this writing, Lawrence had a plethora of nominal identities. The name "Lawrence" had been discarded in favor of "Shaw," though "Ross" was also commonly used. Both had been chosen at random for their shortness and late placement in the alphabet (Lawrence avoided the right of an alphabetical army line). He was called "Aurans" or "Lurens" by the Arabs, but most popular was his nickname "Emir Dinamit," meaning "Prince Dynamite," awarded to him for his boundless energy and methodology of war. Most popularly, he was referred to as "Lawrence of Arabia," a name which he loathed both for its length and its tendency to inspire awe-stricken hero worship which made him uncomfortable to the point of feeling physically unclean. This early biography attempts to pin down the elusive man behind the myth and was written by a personal friend of Lawrence, the one he trusted the most to write an account of his Arabian adventures.…
