GALE, NORMAN (1862 – 1942; poet). An extensive series of autograph letters to [Lydia Jennie] Winifred Craven (1886-1984), the first dated 1919,Winifred had written to Gale initially as an admirer of his work; his letters to her are at first mildly formal, he discussing his work and making suggestions regarding her own writing. As well as becoming his "Pupil" (he was "Master" and often signs himself so) she assumes a secretarial role, typing up his manuscripts, arranging publication and sending out complimentary copies of his works according to lists of recipients drawn up by Gale – three of these lists are present. Their relationship would appear to change rather, in perhaps June 1923, the content leads us to surmise that they may have become lovers. He begins to sign himself, "Masterwoodman", "Your hungry Little Norman with devotion", "Fairyman", and "The Only Snowdrop`s Only Fairyman sends his hopes, his fire, his love", My love to you, my want of you is – well, Honey Guess!" He addresses Winifred as, "Giver of Gold", "Freckleflower", "Cherished Snowdrop", "Woodmaid", "Refined Honey", and "My three flowers in one" etc.Gale hardly ever dated his letters to Winifred but approximately 80% are datable from the postmarks of the envelopes addressed to Winifred variously at Kingsbridge, Devon and Wilmington House, East Grinstead and elsewhere; those of 1938-39 to her in Italy and Egypt.Present are three signed statements in which he gives to Winifred the copyright of his published and unpublished works, with the titles listed. Curiously although written in different years, 1926, 1930, & 1938, all are dated June 1st. The statement of 1926 commences, "the terms of our agreement having been satisfied, I now acknowledge that the copyright of the following books are your outright property".A number of the letters are accompanied by leaves of autograph poetry sent by Gale to Winifred as revisions or new work for her opinion; 27 such poems (on 37-leaves) are dispersed throughout the series. Together with a few signed greetings cards, an etching of Gale (the frontispiece of "A June Romance" [1894] inscribed to Winifred with the title-page still attached); two photographs of Gale; and an attractive portrait miniature of Winifred. Also, two charming letters from Gale to the young Suzanne Craven (Lucas) at Roedean sending a copy of "Messrs. Bat & Ball" for the school library.A remarkable series of lyrically passionate letters that reveal much of interest, not only in relation to his work and manner of composition but also his deepest feelings, hopes and anxieties. He never had any money, having no interest in, "£s shillings and pence", preferring to give his publications away to those he thought worthy recipients. Amongst the letters is a cheque for £5.00 he had sent to Winifred to cover postage costs – it remains uncashed. In October 1930, facing ruin, he writes asking Winifred to purchase a "Sheraton Bureau" – "… Is it possible for you to give me £50 for it … .how I detest being forced to write this ….. I am at the far end; nearly beaten in fact. Nearly. When I admit that I am beaten you will understand that your Fairyman is Finished . By the way I Love You".Transcripts of extracts of some of the letters that we have read are available upon request.
