New York: Dell Publishing Co., 1938. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Format is approximately 10 inches by 9.25 inches. 16 pages counting covers. Illustrations (some in color). Cover has some wear and soiling. Spine worn. Corners creased. The Story of Ferdinand (1936) is the best known work written by American author Munro Leaf and illustrated by Robert Lawson. The children's book tells the story of a bull who would rather smell flowers than fight in bullfights. He sits in the middle of the bull ring failing to take heed of any of the provocations of the matador and others to fight. Leaf is said to have written the story on a whim in 1935, largely to provide his friend, illustrator Robert Lawson a forum in which to showcase his talents. In 1938, Life magazine called Ferdinand "the greatest juvenile classic since Winnie the Pooh" and suggested that "three out of four grownups buy the book largely for their own pleasure and amusement". According to one scholar, the book crosses gender lines in that it offers a character to whom both boys and girls can relate. More

William Thomas Beckford (1 October 1760 – 2 May 1844) was an English novelist; an art collector and patron of works of decorative art, a critic, travel writer, and sometime politician, reputed at one stage in his life to be the richest commoner in England. He was Member of Parliament for Wells from 1784 to 1790, for Hindon from 1790 to 1795 and 1806 to 1820. He is remembered as the builder of the remarkable lost Fonthill Abbey and Lansdown Tower ("Beckford's Tower"), Bath, and especially for his art collection. His other principal writings were Memoirs of Extraordinary Painters (1780), a satirical work; and Letters from Italy with Sketches of Spain and Portugal (1834), full of brilliant descriptions of scenes and manners. Boyd Alexander has edited the diaries, and provided an introduction and a large number of notes. More

Edward FitzGerald "Gerald" Brenan, CBE, MC (7 April 1894 – 19 January 1987) was a British writer and hispanist who spent much of his life in Spain. Brenan is best known for The Spanish Labyrinth, a historical work on the background to the Spanish Civil War, and for South from Granada: Seven Years in an Andalusian Village. He was appointed CBE in the Diplomatic Service and Overseas List of 1982. At the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, he immediately joined the British Army and served in France throughout the war. After being demobbed in 1919, Hope-Johnstone introduced Brenan to the Bloomsbury Group. After moving to Spain, contacts with the Bloomsbury Group continued, particularly with his best friend Ralph Partridge and Partridge's first wife Dora Carrington, with whom Brenan had an affair. In the late 1920s he formed a relationship with his maid, Juliana Martin Pelegrina, which resulted in the birth of a daughter, Miranda Helen. In 1930, he met the American writer Gamel Woolsey (1895–1968); they married in 1931. They lived near Málaga, during part of the Spanish Civil War. More
