About This Item
London: The Nonesuch Press, 1930. First edition of this collection of four of Lawrence's short stories, posthumously published by close friend David Garnett. Octavo, original publisher's half buckram over bright yellow boards. One of 1600 copies printed on hand-made paper at the Curwen Press, 550 of which were for sale in the United States by Random House, this is number 356. Very good in a very good dust jacket. In 1911, Lawrence was introduced to Edward Garnett, a publisher's reader who acted as a mentor and became a valued friend, as did his son David. David Garnett wrote the preface to this book, a reminiscence in which he tells that the stories and sketches in Love Among The Haystacks were written by Lawrence in July and August of 1912 and then passed on to Edward Garnett, who tried to place them without success, and then onto him. David had read the book in manuscript form when it was written and had been with Lawrence into 'The Chapel Among the Mountains', had slept out with him in 'The Hay-hut Among the Mountains' and writes of the tickling of the hay, the crashing thunder, and the bitter cold of the winds sweeping off the glaciers that all came back to him.
