 A Christmas Carol

A first edition copy of Dickens' Oliver Twist.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 3 volumes.</li><li>Charles Dickens (English).</li><li>Illustrated by George Cruikshank.</li><li>London:&nbsp;Richard Bentley,&nbsp;1838.</li><li>Bound in full 19th-century brown calf with red and green morocco spine labels and gilt decoration, top edges gilt, marbled endpapers.</li></ul> Dickens's second novel, Oliver Twist, provided the author with an ideal canvas for his most furious and dazzling rages against injustice, against hypocrisy, against poverty and against base corruption. At its center is the pure and put-upon Oliver, flung from the cruelty of the orphanarium into the viciousness of a den of thieves, surely the most virtuous and long-suffering of all shining Victorian child saints—at least, of all those who survive the three-volume novels in which they find themselves—and around him orbit a selection of some of the most memorable villains in English literature. The first edition in book form was published before the final installments had yet appeared in serial form, and consequently Dickens objected to Cruikshank's final illustration too late to prevent its inclusion in the first issue; his desired substitution was completed by November 16, 1838, along with certain modifications to the title page (Smith). This copy, while bearing all indications of the first issue, is distinguished by the additional inclusion of the later "Church" plate, likely added during its rebinding.&nbsp;

A first edition, first issue copy of Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 2 volumes.</li><li>Charles Dickens (English).</li><li>Illustrated by George Cruikshank.</li><li>Edited by "Boz."</li><li>London: Richard Bentley, 1838.</li><li>Octavo.</li><li>Includes 12 illustrations.</li><li>Bound in publisher's floral-patterned, embossed, pink cloth, spines gilt.</li></ul> From the library of Eric Quayle. The first issue of Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi by Charles Dickens is identifiable via the appearance of the plate at page 238 in volume two in its first state, without the grotesque border, which was added later. Grimaldi was one of the most renowned English actors of the Regency period. In the early 1800s, he greatly expanded the role of the clown in the Harlequinade and made it his own to such an extent that a clown became known as a "Joey" and his white-face makeup became standard for all types of clown. Eric Stanley Quayle (1921–2001) was a noted British bibliophile (with a collection of 16,000 volumes), collector, historian and author. His own work was mainly related to the themes of collecting books, but he also produced a noted biography of R. M. Ballantyne (1967) and two books of folktales: one of Cornish tales (The Magic Ointment) and one of Japanese tales (The Shining Princess).
