Details
Description
Inscribed first-edition copy of the second of four children’s books in Greene’s and Craigie’s collaboration.
Greene and Craigie met in 1938 when Greene was looking for a place to write and finally rented a room in Dorothy’s and her mother’s house. The love affair that started there lasted throughout the war, in which they served together as air-raid wardens during the London Blitz.
Ragnar Svanström (1904-1988), Swedish historian and literary director, was the long-time contact of Greene at Norstedts Publishing House in Stockholm. He edited the “Introduction to Three Novels,” published by Norstedts in 1962. The friendship that developed between Greene and Svanström and his wife Greta spanned many decades. Their correspondence is kept at the Royal Library in Stockholm.
