Wells (H.G.). Little Wars. A Game for Boys, 1st edition, 1913, 19 photographs, marginal drawings by J.R. Sinclair, one photograph with piece torn away, some leaves detached with light soiling and spotting, front hinge breaking, original red cloth, inset illustration to upper cover, spine rubbed with some fading, preserved in a custom made black cloth foldover box, small 4to Graham Greene and Hugh Carelton Greene's copy. Signed twice by a juvenile Graham Greene in pencil to front pastedown, and two ink annotations, presumably by Graham Greene to page 46, providing two extra rules for the game. In the first volume of his autobiography A Sort of Life, Graham Greene recounts this copy of Little Wars: "My favourite toys in those days were a clockwork train and lead soldiers... When I was a bit older (about twelve) I would play with Hugh, who was six, an elaborate war game based on H.G. Wells's book Little Wars. In the holidays we were able to use the big tables in the School House dining hall. We would push two tables together and lay out a whole countryside. There were roads marked in chalk and cottages and forests of twigs and rivers which had to be crossed. One game might last a week, with perhaps two hundred men on either side, quick raids by cavalry and slow advances by infantry, measured on lengths of string, melees which led to capture of prisoners, and bombardments with the two 4.2 naval guns. It was 1916, but war was still glamorous to a child". The poor condition of the book shows the extent to which the Greene brothers played with it, with Graham Greene's extra rules 7 and 8 in ink at foot of page 46, "A gun may not fire if there is more than 2 men of its opponents side within 3" of it" and "One can carry two sand bags moving half his move [and] one [sandbag moving] the whole of his move". There are pencil scores from the brothers games to the rear endpapers, under the headings H and G (unsurprisingly the elder Graham always seemed to win), together with a few juvenile drawings which appear to be the six-year old Hugh's work.

Each poem is dated in pencil at its foot, subsequently erased but most legible under angled light, with a pencil insertion of a dropped word in the poem on page 6.

Six of the poems were published in Oxford Poetry, 1923-25, with the dates in this copy tallying accordingly. (3)
