Binding very slightly loose, about VG The album bears the ownership signature and address of Jessie Green of Kenilworth Road in The Park, Nottingham, and it is likely that the signatures were obtained in person by her at various tournaments in Nottingham and Leicester. Indeed, George Hillyard and his wife Blanche Bingley, both of whose signatures appear in the album, proved a large factor in drawing many of the best English and foreign players to the Midlands at the time. The Wimbledon referee Frank Burrow was to write ‘the fine entry which Nottingham invariably received was largely due to the fact that the Hillyards always had a house-party for the meeting and brought lots of good players with them over from Thorpe Satchville’.

POWYS JOHN COWPER: (1872-1963) British Philosopher, Novelist, Literary Critic and Poet. Small series of five A.Ls.S., John Cowper Powys, (two unsigned), ten pages (total), 8vo, Ffestiniog, Merionethshire, 1958-61, all to Neville Braybrooke. Powys writes, often somewhat erratically, on a variety of literary matters, stating, in part, ‘The two “juvenilia” I could send you for your Anthology, which appeals to me very much, although I would if I were you - but of course I’m not you! - make the limit a lot younger - say fifteen instead of 21 - are first of all a verse I wrote when I was about 12 or 13 - I forget the precise date - about Corfe Castle to which my father took me in my boyhood - and second a romantic story in prose written about the same time entitled “The Knight of the Festoon”. This second prose thing I’ve got written down; but the Corfe Castle verse I’ve still got in my head, every single word of it….’ (24th November 1958; accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Powys, signed by him in full to the return address on the verso, and with a further holograph note, ‘Aye! But I do feel more and more strongly the more I think of it that the age limit should be 15 and not 21….think how few years after that Keats would have been dead and I know there are several master poems - not juvenilia at all! - written by great poets before they were 21’), ‘I shall be most interested to read your novel….I enjoy reading novels; especially such as are entirely new to me…’ (24th June n.y. [1961], accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Powys and signed by him in full to the return address on the verso), ‘I certainly have found “The Idler” an interesting - yes! a very interesting story - I have loved reading it and found the complicated…secretive…very exciting and especially significant. Your words made my think of Milton’s to the poet John Dryden when the latter came to ask his leave to make the lines in the most important part of Paradise Lost rhyme together. It must have been Dryden’s extraordinary modesty & humility, like what made him say “Here I come; always a poet, never a good one” that made Milton agree to his request….’ (1st July 1961), ‘O indeed and indeed I would be proud and pleased if you quoted my words of praise on the dust jacket of your novel “The Idler”….I am so glad to hear that Mr L P Hartley is pleased to have you quote some comments of his on the dust jacket of your novel’ (3rd August 1961, accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Powys and signed by him in full to the return address on the verso), ‘…thank you very much indeed for this wonderful book of yours “The Idler”….I think the jacket is very good and I am interested in the fact that the young artist was at one time a quarryman, for we live here in the midst of quarrymen whom we consider very remarkable people - yes I do indeed like this cover by Teithit Durham….’ (16th [August?] 1961). Some light overall age wear and minor creasing, G to about VG, 5 Neville Braybrooke (1923-2001) English Poet, Writer, Editor, Literary Critic and Publisher. Son of Patrick Braybrooke (1894-1956) English Literary Critic.
