82. TENNANT, Stephen. Two Stories. <strong>Elysium</strong> <strong>Press</strong> (1995). Two previously unpublished stories<br />
by this eccentric Englishman, who was one of the brightest of the “Bright Young Things” in<br />
the 1920s. His extensive artistic and literary friendships persisted through much of the twentieth<br />
century before he withdrew into a hermetic existence at his Wiltshire estate. Reproduced here for<br />
the first time are The Public Rose Garden, a dreamy portrait of a Marseilles park, replete with<br />
swooning nuns and intoxicating scents, and Next Gentleman, Please, wherein the author's romantic<br />
sensibilities are brought face to face with the sadness of World War II. With an Introduction<br />
by Tennant's biographer Philip Hoare.<br />
Two hundred copies hand printed on Zerkall paper in three different colored inks (the<br />
edition was actually quite smaller). Also reproduced are seven full color previously unpublished<br />
examples of the author's graphic work. Bound and boxed in English wallpaper with a star design.<br />
fine as issued, along with the prospectus for the book. $200.
