Seller Notes: “A unique museum-quality item. This is an uncorrected proof copy of Heckstall-Smith's "Royal Family ... “A unique museum-quality item. This is an uncorrected proof copy of Heckstall-Smith's "Royal Family Fantasy" novel, together with a signed letter from the author to Lord Rothermere, expressing dismay that his "amusing romp" is in danger of being suppressed because of possible offence to the Royal Family. The author's fears were justified - Blond did not publish the book, although a version was later published, in 1965, by Grove Press. The book was formerly part of the collection of the eminent Fantasy Bibliographer, George Locke, and includes a page of handwritten notes by him, citing it as a classic example of the difficulty of defining the Fantasy genre.Original wraps with handwritten titles. In good sound condition, with light wear and creasing (see pictures). Binding sound and square. A unique item.”
