George Orwell was an imperialist patriot,Virginia Woolf making fun of feminism and T S Eliot as the author of an adventure story set in the South Seas are some of the literary surprises to be found in this wide-ranging collection of 20thC juvenilia.The age limit has been set atsixteen.By the time Stevie Smith and Elizabeth Bishop were two and three respectively they were composing couplets,andthe parson poet Andrew Young,by the time he was five,had set down a short poem about the battle of Bannockburn,whichsays almost everything that there is to be said about war:'They fell,they fell Till there were few to tell How the great battle was ended.' Neville Braybrooke has been collecting material for this book fo the past thirty years.He has encouraged friends like Francis King,David Gascoyne and Elizabeth Jennings to search through their old papers.Other items he has tracked down in school magazines. John Betjeman's attempt to find words to rhyme with "summer" first appeared in the Dragon School magazine in 1922,when he was thirteen. Malcolm Lowry,when he began contributing to the Leys School magazine,was anxious to try his hand as a sports correspondent. Jocelyn Brooke,on his eighth birthday,set out to write a natural history of Surrey, where he lived,and within the next few months completed four chapters. There are drawings by Bernard Shaw,David Jones and AnthonyPowell as well as illustrated short stories by Wyndham Lewis and Evelyn Waugh, which have never appeared before.H GWells's novel 'The Desert Daisy' is printed here in full and there is an extract from 'Filthy Lucre' by Beryl Bainbridge - both completed when their authors were thirteen.Included also are unpublished poems by Katherine Mansfield,Robert Graves, Kathleen Raine and Thomas Keneally.However,as one might expect, there is far more to this anthology than curiosity value.E M Forster's attitude to the British raj in 'A Passage to India' is already anticipated in a school essay which he wrote at the age of sixteen,and there are anticipated echoes,too,in'Finnegan's Wake' of a translation that James Joyce made ofan ode by Horace when he was fifteen.'Seeds in the Wind' - entertaining, instructive and often prophetic - is about 20thC literature in the making.

Soft cover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Why did the man who created Sherlock Holmes believe in ghosts?" From early in his medical career, Arthur Conan Doyle was fascinated by the paranormal. As a young doctor in Southsea, he investigated séances, telepathy and hypnosis and in 1887, the year of his first Sherlock Holmes novel, he became convinced of spirit communication. Even as Holmes's fame grew, Conan Doyle investigated poltergeists, automatic writing and spirit photography. Then, in 1916, as the Great War's death toll mounted, he announced to an astonished world his belief in Spiritualism, all the while, continuing to produce stories starring his ultra-rational consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. In Conan Doyle and the Mysterious World of Light: - Trace Conan Doyle's thinking as he grapples with paranormal phenomena and reaches the extraordinary conclusion that they are real. Read his own account of speaking with his dead son, Kingsley, and making physical contact with his manifested spirit. - Discover why Conan Doyle was accused of "necromancy" by Press and Church. - Find out how H G Wells, George Bernard Shaw and others were drawn into the debate. - Follow Conan Doyle's journey to becoming an international missionary and leader of a world movement. The first in a three-part series tracing his belief in Spiritualism, Conan Doyle and the Mysterious World of Light is a detailed, entertaining true history. Includes newspaper reports, biographies of key figures, glossary, index, bibliography - and every article and letter he wrote for the Spiritualist magazine Light between 1887 and 1920, many of which have never been published in book form., Life Is Amazing, 2016, 6<
