Title: A Boy at the Hogarth Press & A Parcel of Time. No. 4
Description: Slightly Foxed Ltd. 2008. Linnen band. Pp: 207. In 1926, at the age of 16, Richard Kennedy left school without a single qualification and went to work at Leonard and Virginia Woolf`s Hogarth Press. Though home from home for London`s intellectual élite, the Press`s damp basement at Tavistock Square was anything but elegant, with the legendarily mean LW keeping a close check on everything, including the toilet paper, and frequently exploding when confronted with RK`s latest idiocy. The Woolfs clearly developed a fondness for their apprentice, but when he left several years later LW pronounced him - the most frightful idiot he [had] ever had the privilege of meeting in a long career of suffering fools`.nBut Kennedy, who became a successful artist and children`s book illustrator, was taking everything in, and 50 years later he produced a minor classic in A Boy at the Hogarth Press, accompanied by his own wonderfully alive illustrations. Later still, he published his touching childhood memoir, A Parcel of Time. ISBN: 9781906562069. Cond./Kwaliteit: Als nieuw.
