They had no special destination and no urgency, but it was the beginning of three years of adventurous and often accident-prone sailing amongst islands in two oceans. At Vigo the crew of two was increased by the gift of a dog, Spare Provisions, at Las Palmas by the birth of Tony, and in New Zealand by a daughter, Tui.

But the charm of the narrative lies in the… Read More

Signed by Editor. silver titles spine; previously owned by the artist Jan Le Witt & signed by one of the editors on the front endpaper with the following inscription: "To Jan Le Witt with friendship from Benjamin Tammuz London June 25th 1974"; jacket design by Jill Henderson; "The seven magnificent stories in 'Meetings with the Angel' by seven Israeli writers (Yitzhak Ben Ner; Yossl Birstein; Amalia Kahana-Carmon; Yaacov Shabtai; David Shahar; Dan Tsalka & A. B. Yehoshua), were all written in the last ten years.

Perhaps the greatest contrast is between 'Early in the Summer of… Read More

Printed by John Haviland, for A. Crooke, London, 1638. Sixteenth Impression. Hardcover (Full Leather). Very Good Condition. Overbury's poem, A Wife, was published posthumously in 1614 & ran through six editions within a year, the scandal connected with the murder of the author by poison while interred in the Tower of London greatly aiding its success.
