[ilds] ILDS Digest, Vol 103, Issue 2

[mail at durrelllibrarycorfu.org]

Are they genuine? (or as LD once wrote to me, 'genuwine'). The price is suspiciously low, and I wonder if LD wrote 'marevllous' as 'marvelous' - a typical mistake for an American forger...

LD letters for sale (Anthony Hirst)----------------------------------------------------------------------Message: 1Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 08:13:10 +0000From: Anthony Hirst To: ilds at lists.uvic.caSubject: [ilds] LD letters for saleMessage-ID: <969F8594-7AC1-405A-A0C1-EF0B4445F490 at btinternet.com>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252"This may not be news to ILDS list readers, but, just in case it is, I thought I should pass it on. Yesterday I receive an email, addressed to me personally, from Clouds Hill Books stating that:<>The brochure that goes with the offer of sale (pdf attached to this email) contains the full texts. A quick check suggests that most of the 16 items offered for sale are not included in The Durrell-Miller Letters, 1935-80. There is no information about the provenance of the typescripts/manuscripts concerned. If anyone knows more it would be good to hear it. The background material in the brochure is simply extracts from Ian MacNiven's narrative contributions to The Durrell-Miller Letters.While few of us are likely to have a spare $17,500, perhaps someone could use their influence with one of the libraries/archives that already hold Durrell collections. It would be a great pity if the letters were to end up inaccessible in a private collection.Contact details for Clouds Hill Books are are below.Anthony Hirst------------------ Clouds Hill BooksP.O.
