› Find signed collectible books: 'Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales'Book summary:Once upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children, and neither is Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones; crafty women and bad girls; enchantresses and midwives; rascal aunts and odd sisters. This fabulous celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black arts and dirty tricks could only have been collected by the unique and much-missed Angela Carter. Illustrated throughout with original woodcuts. [via]

Aubrey Beardsleyby Aubrey Beardsley, Brian ReadeISBN 1851490485 (1-85149-048-5)
Hardcover, Antique Collectors Club Ltd
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Aubrey Beardsley'Book summary:This book includes virtually all of Beardsley's mature work, culled from a wide variety of sources. It enables us to distinguish between the genuine Beardsley and the hundreds of spurious pastiches attributed to him. Perhaps the key to his great popularity is his consummate ability with line and shape and his use of space. His defiant personality projected itself in black and white, not in three-dimensional realism. If some of his contemporaries saw it differently the fact remains he is now regarded as an artist draughtsman of brilliant invention.
This is Aubrey Beardsley's centenary year and is marked by a major exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. [via]

A Child's Garden of Versesby Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles RobinsonISBN 1851583912 (1-85158-391-2)
Hardcover, Mainstream Pub Co Ltd
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'A Child's Garden of Verses'Book summary:"The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings."
With this "Happy Thought," Robert Louis Stevenson speaks for all the delights of childhood. But he doesn't stop there. A Child's Garden of Verses, written over a century ago, is filled to the brim with what are usually considered to be the first real poems written for children. This classic volume is an old friend to the generations of readers who were brought up on "I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me/ And what can be the use of him is more than I can see." In this perfectly lovely edition, the gossamer art of Jessie Willcox Smith (who first illustrated Stevenson's poems in the early years of the 20th century) is reproduced in all its charming glory. Black and white drawings throughout and eight full-page, warmly colorful paintings show beautiful, yet pleasantly imperfect children, busy at their daily activities--climbing trees, watching their reflections in a river, or sick in bed with an army of toy soldiers on guard. Place this on the shelf next to Mother Goose, Dr. Seuss, and Peter Rabbit. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter [via]

Commonplace: And Other Short Stories.by Christina Rossetti, Andrew MotionISBN 1843911191 (1-84391-119-1)
Softcover, Trafalgar Square
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Commonplace: And Other Short Stories.'Book summary:This is a delightful novella of love, matrimony, and sisterhood firmly in the tradition of Jane Austen, and displaying all the imaginative flair and linguistic prowess that distinguish Christina Rossetti's best-loved verse. When William Charlmont is lost at sea, his devoted wife lies dying in childbirth and charges Catherine, their eldest daughter, to await his return. Years later, and now in her thirties, Catherine remains faithful to her promise, resigning herself to a life of spinsterhood. Her two sisters, however, are under no such obligation, and while Lucy loves and loses from afar, the carefree Jane resolves to make a prosperous marriage and become a lady of fortune. Commonplace is a charmingly witty tale of the tortuous path a girl must take to secure a suitable match. One of the most important of the Victorian women poets, and a member of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, Christina Rossetti is best known as the author of Goblin Market and Other Poems.[via]More editions of Commonplace: And Other Short Stories.:

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Hero of Our Time'Book summary:[via]Lermontovs only novel, A Hero of Our Time examines a weary and cynical man trapped in the futility of his age. Published in the early 19th century, it was to prove a hugely influential work for many subsequent Russian writers. Despite his obvious talents and natural abilities, Pecorin is restless and bored. In a quest for motivation and stimulation, he leaves behind the civilized world of society drawing rooms for the wilds of the Southern Caucasus. Rather than finding the impetus he so craves, he becomes increasingly alienated from those around him. Sickened by the condition of his times, he chooses to reject a life of morality. A probing study of a manand a societyin crisis, A Hero of Our Time was to become a seminal work of its era. Poet and novelist Mikhail Yurevich Lermontov was a leading figure in Russian Romantic literature.More editions of A Hero of Our Time:

The Illustrated Works of Jane Austen : Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbeyby Jane AustenISBN 1851520503 (1-85152-050-3)
Hardcover, Chancellor Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Illustrated Works of Jane Austen : Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey'Book summary:With a sharp wit and keen eye, Jane Austen painted indelible, finely realized portraits of Georgian life, with its intricate rules of behavior, social divisions, and delightful diversions. No one bettered her in capturing the sometimes complicated mating dance that led to true love, and her compelling, intelligent heroines are unequalled in all literature--and have also translated wonderfully to film and television. At the same time, her piercing humor exposed the follies of the age and ripped apart characters vain, foolish, greedy, arrogant, and callous. Here are three of her best novels, all in one volume and beautifully illustrated with period images: Sense and Sensibility, a richly textured masterpiece about two sisters with wildly differing temperaments; Emma, with its endearing but deeply flawed protagonist; and the deliciously lighthearted Northanger Abbey. If you've read these before, re-experience the wonder anew; if not, prepare to be captivated with every page![via]More editions of The Illustrated Works of Jane Austen : Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey:

Lilithby George MacDonaldISBN 1846373646 (1-84637-364-6)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Lilith'Book summary:"Lilith is equal if not superior to the best of Poe," the great 20th-century poet W.H. Auden said of this novel, but the comparison only begins to touch on the richness, density, and wonder of this late 19th-century adult fantasy novel. First published in 1895 (inhabiting a universe with the early Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, and Oscar Wilde--not to mention Thomas Hardy), this is the story of the aptly named Mr. Vane, his magical house, and the journeys into another world into which it leads him.
Meeting up with one mystery after another, including Adam and Eve themselves, he slowly but surely explores the mystery of the human fall from grace, and of our redemption. Instructed into the ways of seeing the deeper realities of this world--seeing, in a sense, by the light of the spirit--the reader and Mr. Vane both sense that MacDonald writes from his own deep experience of radiance, from a bliss so profound that death's darkness itself is utterly eclipsed in its light. --Doug Thorpe [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Sadeian Woman'Book summary:[via]"Sexuality is power," wrote the Marquis de Sade. His virtuous Justine kept to the rules laid down by men, her reward rape and humiliation; his Juliette, Justine's triumphantly monstrous antithesis, viciously exploited her sexuality. This is a world where all tenderness is false, and all beds are minefields. But now Sade has met his match. With invention and genius, celebrated novelist Angela Carter takes on these figments of his extreme imagination and transforms them into symbols of our timethe Hollywood sex goddesses, mothers and daughters, pornography, even the sacred shrines of sex and marriage lie devastatingly exposed before our eyes. Carter delves into the viscera of our distorted sexuality and reveals a stunning vision of love that admits neither the conqueror nor the conquered. It is a dazzling meditation on women's sexual freedom.More editions of The Sadeian Woman:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Vathek'Book summary:[via]Written in 1782 by the near-legendary hedonist William Beckford, Vathek was the first Oriental-Gothic horror novel in English literature. It tells the story of Vathek, the debauched and pleasure-seeking ninth Caliph of the Abassides, who decides to build a great tower to "penetrate the secrets of heaven." The appearance of an Indian magician arouses Vatheks thirst for knowledge and he is willing to go to any lengths, including the sacrifice of 50 of the most beautiful boys in his kingdom, to gain access to the "Palace of Subterranean Fire," where the magician promises he will find treasures, intelligences and talismans that control the world. A rousing novel, Vathek is a classic tale of greed and lust for power containing magic, trickery, and betrayal all culminating in an age-old showdown between good and evil.More editions of Vathek:

The Victorian Vision: Inventing New Britainby John M. MacKenzieISBN 1851773274 (1-85177-327-4)
Hardcover, V&A Publications

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Victorian Vision: Inventing New Britain'Book summary:The Victorians get a terrible press--sexually repressed, hypocritical and heartless proponents of self-help. It's a hackneyed view that The Victorian Vision--Inventing New Britain, edited by John Mackenzie, sets out to redress. These after all were the generations that created Britain's railway network and built the London Underground; that established the basis of today's global economy; that developed photography; gave us clean sewerage; and invented mass production; who gave us trades unions and Darwinism. Most importantly, these generations created the basis of the infrastructure and attitudes we still live with today.
The Victorian Vision, which partners an exhibition at London's Victoria and Albert Museum, cleverly tackles this huge era as a series of extended essays. These in turn divide into Society, Technology and The World, and the writers look at the nature of the Victorians themselves--a people wrestling with the realisation that the Earth wasn't made in seven days, that their industrialisation was despoiling their cities, and that the social structures that had held in Britain for centuries were being swept away in a matter of years. The book takes as its starting point Victoria herself--Delia Millar's essay focusing on the crucial "Royal patronage and influence". After the feckless and unpopular George IV, Victoria gave the monarchy a new solidity--creating in her own Royal Family a template for family as the heart of British life. Meanwhile, Prince Albert, mover and organiser behind the Great Exhibition of 1851, made a focus for British exports and industry. This slab-sized coffee table companion is really made by its superb use of pictures. Engravings, early photographs, lithographs, illustrations from Punch, and contemporary photos of Victorian artefacts tell the story of this industrious and creative breed better than 100,000 words. And the heavily moral and allegorical paintings of Dyce, Holman Hunt, Ford Madox Brown and Rossetti dramatically illustrate the moral, religious and political storms that created the Victorians' philosophy. The book is lavish and very large, but the essay format makes dipping in and out an informative pleasure, as you discover what those "Victorian values" really were.--John Rennie [via]
