About This Item
Novel. (Sydney: Angus and Robertson: 1959) First Edition. Boards (that is, hard covers) pp. 147. Decorated. Inscribed and signed copy, To Flexmore Hudson with homage for his artistry Xavier Herbert Cairns 1959. Herberts signature is elusive he was not an inveterate signer of books. Presumably Flex, a selfless editor and proselatiser of Australian verse, sent Herbert a copy of his latest book of verse, Pools of the Cinnabar Range and Herbert responded by sending this book, published in the same year. Loosely included is a piece of note-paper inscribed Affectionate regards From Sadie [Herberts partner], and congratulations for Pools of the Cinnabar Ranges [sic].. Then on the title page is another signed inscription this time to Flexs son, Also to my young friend Kim Hudson March 22 1962 Blackwood SA Xavier Herbert. Perhaps Herbert was visiting at the time of an Adelaide Writers Week, the Hudsons well-known for their hospitality towards the widely-spread community of Australian writers. A very good copy in a good dust-jacket which is slightly bruised and chipped at the head and foot of its spine and at the head and foot of its rear panel.
