Founder of The Wind and Rain- a literary review journal.) and contents list/table. 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an extract from 'Filthy Lucre' by Beryl Bainbridge - both completed when their authors were thirteen.Included also are unpublished poems by Katherine Mansfield,Robert Graves, Kathleen Raine and Thomas Keneally.However,as one might expect, there is far more to this anthology than curiosity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.

Tavistock Square, London: Hogarth Press, 1938. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. First edition, first issue binding. Small octavo. Yellow cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Five black and white half-tone photographic illustrations. The usual pale offsetting to endsheets, boards a bit dusty, else very good or better, without dust jacket. Three Guineas is, essentially, a critique of patriarchy written as a belated response to an unnamed correspondent regarding two hypothetical requests for funding. Woolf makes the link between patriarchal family life and its connection to fascism and the consequent oppression of women. Woolf writes to Ethel Smyth on 1 June 1938: "I will send you 3 guineas (the book only I mean) tomorrow. I hadn't meant to, as it only repeats THE YEARS, with facts to prove it, not fiction; and is a hurried piece of work -- though it was hard work collecting the facts -- and you wont like it or agree with it. So lets say no more about it." But Ethel replied: "Your book is so splendid that it makes me hot" (3 June 1938, BERG). . KIRKPATRICK A23a. WOOLMER 440., Hogarth Press, 1938, 2.5<
