Hinde, Thomas Courtiers - 900 Years of Court Life
London Victor Gollancz 1986 0575037679 / 9780575037670 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Near Fine
A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is price clipped. 219 pages. 15 illustrations. Here is a galaxy of odd and wonderful characters: sycophants and time-servers, royal lovers and intriguers, Chief Sewers and Grooms of the Stole. In the tradition of John Aubrey's Brief Lives Thomas Hinde invites us to share the public and private lives of some hundred characters at court - from Eudo, Chief Steward to William the Conqueror, to Frederick Ponsonby, George V's Keeper of the Privy Purse. Geoffrey Chaucer, Nell Gwyn, Barbara Villiers, Jane Shore, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Thomas Wyatt, Robert Carr, Sir Thomas Overbury, Fanny Burney, Abigail Hill, Talbot Edwards and the Earl of Rochester: these celebrated courtiers jostle with others less famous to form a procession of royal favourites; harlots and poets, adventurers and dwarfs, dukes and orange sellers. Most extracted titles and wealth or political power from their patron, others slipped from favour to rot in prison, or languish in genteel obscurity, whilst many Tudor courtiers had their careers terminated by the axe. **** NOT EX LIB ****

Chitty, Susan and Hinde, Thomas The Great Donkey Walk
London Hodder and Stoughton 1977 0340224665 / 9780340224663 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good Signed by Author
SIGNED BY SUSAN CHITTY AND THOMAS HINDE to title page. INCLUDED IS A LETTER SIGNED BY 'KITTY' on headed paper referring to 'MY OWN ECCENTRIC LOT' and ' ..GIVING YOU THEIR NEW BOOK'. Kitty is probably the novelist ANTONIA WHITE (1899-1980) the mother of Susan Chitty. A Very Good+ unmarked copy with a little foxing to top edge and to endpapers with price clipped dustjacket which has a small closed tear to back. Map endpapers and 32 illustrations. The book relates the journey the authors made with their children, arriving in Spain in time for the Ascension Day fair at Santiago where they bought two donkeys. The walk they planned to undertake was nothing short of the breadth of southern Europe, the Europe not of the autostrada, but of the medieval pilgrims to the shrines of northern Spain, the route of Sir John Moore to Corunna, of Roland in the Pyrenees, and of Hannibal and his elephants through the Alps. They would winter in Italy and set out in the spring across the Adriatic to Greece where they would mingle tracks with Edward Lear before reaching Salonica. **** A SCARCE SIGNED COPY WITH AN ASSOCIATION LETTER ****
