CHANNING MARK: (1879-1943) British Author of thriller and adventure novels, many featuring the Secret Service agent Colin Gray. Series of thirteen A.Ls.S. and one T.L.S., Mark Channing, (and two with his first name only, and one signed with his initials only), twenty pages (total), generally 4to and 8vo, Chelsea & Newhaven, August 1933 - May 1937, all to Eileen M. Cond. In a number of the letters Channing discusses a property he should like to purchase and enquires as to whether his correspondent knows of 'a timbered 4-6 room cottage which is for sale?', specifying that 'it must have a garden in which nightingales sing in nightingale time' (25th August 1933), further remarking 'Indeed I was serious about the cottage I am looking for…Please, instead of stopping keeping an eye open, keep open both your kind eyes!' (28th August 1933), and in other letters he also refers to his work, 'Have you a Boots' circulating library near you? If you have, and will ask them for "White Python" they will get it for you. When you have read it, I hope you will let me know whether you like it. It has just gone into its third edition' (25th May 1934), 'My next book will be called "The Poisoned Mountain"….Your criticism of "White Python" interested me. I don't think you'll find my next novel too fantastic' (25th March 1935), 'I am expecting to finish my new book "IndianMosaic" (a series of pen pictures of the India I knew & loved for 20 years) before Xmas. But…I may, when it is written, decide not to publish it, but to write another novel & let this semi-autobiography simmer, or mature. I do not feel that my readers wd. be much interested….they'd far prefer, I imagine, a tale I'd thought out on the lines of "King Cobra" - wh. story, by the way, has just finished running with Figaro! (Paris).' (28th November 1935),'My new book -(semi-autobiographical)- comes out….very shortly. Let me know how you like it, & why so, or not so!' (7th May 1936), 'Yes, you sent me your kind opinion of Indian Mosaic, in wh. you said I had not said enough about elephants! But you did not tell me what you wd. like my next "adventure story" to be about. So I have started on a Himalayan adventure with a new hero & heroine' (16th September 1936), 'My kitten is exceedingly flattered to receive your message & is sitting on the top half of this sheet of paper, as if censoring all my remarks! Heaven knows when I'll finish my new book. Haven't started it yet. I'm too busy trying to "see" it' (6th October 1936), 'I have to give a resume of KingCobra very swiftly & describe my previous characters - Colin, Diana….so that the reader who has not read 'K.C.' shall understand the background. And believe me, that is a tiresome business. At the 9th attempt I have gotten together a first chapter wh. I fancy will stand.' (21st December n.y.), 'The writing of the new novel - a Colin Gray thriller, but not wildly impossible - proceeds, but slowly. It is to be called "Nine Lives" & will (naturally) contain a kitten - my kitten. In the end it - but I won't spoil the story for you by telling you it in advance!' (10th December n.y.). Also including a promotional postcard issued for The Poisoned Mountain, featuring a portrait of Channing and various printed texts, signed and inscribed by Channing with his initials, two greetings cards, one signed by Channing and the other by the author on behalf of his cat, and two unsigned candid 2.5 x 4 photographs of Channing standing outdoors, in one of the images holding his cat.

CARLYLE THOMAS: (1795-1881) Scottish Philosopher, Satirical Writer, Essayist & Historian. A.Q.S., T. Carlyle, one page, 8vo, Chelsea, 11th February 1865. Carlyle has penned six lines of a poem, in full, 'Can I tell, in fear and wonder/ With what dangers now bested/ I, cut off from friend & brother/ Like the widow in her love/ With the one and not the other/ Now my weary way must go!'. Some very light, extremely minor creasing, VG Carlyle's quotation represents the larger part of his translation of Goethe's love poem For the tie is snapt asunder, of which the several published versions slightly differ.

WILDE OSCAR: (1854-1900) Irish Playwright and Novelist. Brief A.L.S., Oscar Wilde, one page, 8vo, Tite Street, Chelsea, n.d. (c. 1889), to Mr. Arthur Fish. Wilde writes, in full, 'The name of the lady is 'Miss Muir Mackenzie'-I can't get her Christian name, so put the heading 'By Miss M…Mc. etc.' With blank integral leaf. With light age wear, otherwise VGArthur Fish, Wilde's assistant during his editorship of The Woman's World, a position Wilde held from November 1887 to October 1889. The referenced work by Miss Mackenzie, 'Sunday Club for Working Boys in Paris', was published in the magazine's second volume, 1889.

MILNE A. A.: (1882-1956) English Author, creator of Winnie-the-Pooh. Brief A.L.S., A. A. Milne, one page, 8vo, Chelsea, n.d., to a gentleman. Milne writes, in full, 'I meant to have sent you this before as an acknowledgement of your suggestion for my burlesque of “As You Like It”. With many thanks for it'. With blank integral leaf. About EX As You Like It, the pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare, is thought to have been first performed in 1603. Containing one of Shakespeare's most famous monologues, 'All the world's a stage', the play remains a favourite with audiences and has been adapted for radio, film and musical theatre.

WILDE OSCAR: (1854-1900) Irish Playwright and Novelist. Brief A.L.S., Oscar, one page, 8vo, Tite Street, Chelsea, n.d., to 'My Dear delightful Viking'. Wilde writes, in full, 'Let us lunch at the Lyric Tomorrow at 1.30. It is ages since I met you - isn't it? It seems so to me.' In a postscript Wilde further adds 'The Viking is also a great playwright'. VGThe identity of Wilde's correspondent, seemingly a fellow playwright, and 'delightful Viking', remains something of an intriguing mystery. Evidently a person held in esteem by Wilde, there are (perhaps surprisingly) no references to 'Viking' in Ellman's biography of Wilde or the Complete Letters, published in 2000. The Lyric was a London club which, in November 1888, had moved to new quarters in Coventry Street, close to Piccadilly Circus. The new premises boasted many opulent features, including a white and gold theatre, filled with bronze armchairs, friezes of Persian embroidery, a Louis XVI dining room, a quadruple Moorish smoking room and music room for private parties.

MASTERS EDGAR LEE: (1868-1950) American Poet, Biographer, Dramatist and Attorney. T.L.S., E. L. Masters, one page, 4to, Hotel Chelsea, New York, 12th November 1938, to Mr. Briggs. Masters informs his correspondent that their letter has arrived, and continues, 'The Cleveland date is all right. But make it December 12th if you can. It is cold in January and just at that time is likely to be very cold' adding, 'I lectured in Cleveland once to a very fine audience. It was some women's club the name of which I might dig up, if I had to' Masters concludes, 'Newton D. Baker was a very devoted literary friend of mine - but he is gone. And for the moment I can't think of anyone I know there.' With light age toning, otherwise about VGNewton Diehl Baker (1871-1937) American Lawyer, and Politician, the 37th mayor of Cleveland, 1912-15.
