Wolf Hall won the 2009 Booker Prize and has been adapted for both television and the Theatre. "From one of our finest living writers, Wolf Hall is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel, one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage."

Some commonly encountered light toning to the text-block of Vol.1 . The books are clean internally and appear unread. The WRAPPERS are in near Fine condition and protected in removable Brodart archival covers. The first 2 books in the series, 'Wolf Hall ' and 'Bring Up The Bodies' both won the Booker Prize, in 2009 and 2012 respectively, making Hilary Mantel the first woman to win the prize twice, and only the 4th author to have done so (now 5 authors after Margaret Atwood's shared win in 2019). All three volumes have been signed (without dedication) by the author to the title page. 'Wolf Hall' has also been additionally dated by the author : 30th April 2009 , the day the book was published. 'The Mirror and the Light' is the first Trade edition (Waterstones). The book has been signed by Hilary Mantel to the title page (a very uncommon copy, as the vast majority of the signed versions of this book were done so as a tipped-in 'Limited Signed Edition' page which has been bound in by the publisher, or via a publisher bookplate). The book was signed by the author at the launch event for this title which took place at Waterstones in Piccadilly, London on the evening of 4th March 2020. Attendance at this event was strictly to 200 attendees and was the only literary event where the author undertook book signing. It is important to note that most of the available signed copies of this book are signed to a special tipped in 'Limited Signed Edition' page, or to the publisher's bookplate. The only ones signed on the title page were the ones she signed on the launch night. Full provenance is confirmed by the original till receipt from the night, a photo of the book signing and a folded A4 printout of the 'Eventbrite' event ticket booking. Together with 'The World of Wolf Hall' an exclusive promotional booklet for the first 2 books in the series, a rare promotional postcard and two bookmarks for this release. A very scarce set.

2785.18 CAD
Two books: The first L David Mech's The Wolf: The Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species. Fourteenth printing. A significant association copy, inscribed to Durward L Allen, Mech's mentor and a luminary of wildlife biology: "Dear Durward, Thank you for choosing me to help launch the Isle Royale wolf project so long ago. That opportunity led to a life I could not have enjoyed more. It has been a tremendous privilege to know you. Dave, 1/4/94." Uncommon signed. The second book is Durward L Allen's Wolves of Minong: Their Vital Role in a Wild Community. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1979. First edition, first printing. Signed by Allen on the title page in blue ink. L. David Mech is senior research scientist for the US Geological Survey with a specialty in wolves, and he is the founder of the International Wolf Center. He is the author or co-author of eleven books on wolves and other wildlife. He was Durward Allen's graduate student at Purdue from 1958 to 1962 and, as the inscription says, helped launch the groundbreaking study of wolves and moose on Isle Royale. Starting in 1986 he then spent 25 summers observing wolves on large Ellesmere Island in northernmost Canada, in a sense replicating and expanding his experience at Isle Royale. Among other documentation of the Ellesmere wolves, he co-produced a film about his experience for National Geographic. The Wolf is his second book and is described as "the first book to attempt a complete account of the biology of the wolf," one that "draws from years of field research and upon the rich literature from two continents." Durward L. Allen was an important wildlife biologist and author including of the landmark book Our Wildlife Legacy (1954). He worked for government agencies for twenty years and became the director of research for the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Subsequently he became a professor of ecology at Purdue University, a post he held for 22 years. In addition to his four books, he is famous in particular for his study of the wolves of Island Royale (a National Park) in Lake Superior, now the longest continuous study of a predator-prey system in the world. Wolves are thought to have come to the island on an ice bridge in 1948, and Allen started his study in 1958. He found over time that their numbers oscillate with moose much as in the famous example of lynx and hare, with wolf numbers catching up to and then overshooting moose numbers in an oscillating pattern (scroll down for graph). These findings stood in contrast to the then-prevailing ecological thinking and established that "rich, dynamic variation, not 'balance of nature' seems to be the force that guides nature." As Allen put, "in [this study] we have the key to why both moose and wolf are what they are, and indeed to the character of wilderness." See his article "The Worth of Wilderness: With Interpretations from a Study of Wolves and Moose on Isle Royale" for more. He was on the board of the Audubon Society and president of the...
[Signed] [First Edition] HOW TO COOK A WOLF Inscribed by Fisher Fisher, M. F. K. [Used - Near fine] [Hardcover]
1585.18 CAD
First Edition- Revised. Hardcover. Fisher, M. F. K. HOW TO COOK A WOLF. Inscribed First Rare Revised Edition (1951) 8vo.,282 pp. In the original black cloth boards with decorations of the wolf's head surrounded by vegetables stamped green at the bottom cover and with titles stamped green at the spine. This copy in near fine condition with some aging and minor marking on the cloth. Housed in a Very Good+ bright mustard dust jacket with the original price of $3.00 intact. Chip to the crown of the spine and left front. A handsome copy of the author's scarce third and revised book. Inscribed to "Francis Spain - My best -MFK Fisher 12.8.51" on the title page. Fisher added reflective marginal notes but also included new recipes to suit the postwar reality. While the original 1942 edition focused heavily on making do with scarcity (ration cards, substitutions, and minimal meat), the 1951 version acknowledges the gradual return of abundance and modifies the culinary advice accordingly. She didn't rewrite the entire book, but rather commented on her earlier ideas-sometimes with irony, sometimes with approval. These margin notes offer insight into how her thinking (and the context) had changed in the near-decade since the original. Introduction to the Revised Edition by M.F.K. Fisher (1951) "Certain it is, however, that in less than ten years this book-about living as decently as possible with the ration cards and blackouts and like miseries of World War II-has assumed some of the characteristics of quaintness. It has become, in short, in so short a time, a kind of period piece. Of course, it is difficult, in spite of the obvious changes in our physical problems since How to Cook a Wolf was first published in 1942, to say truthfully and exactly when we are at war. Now we are free of ration cards. No more blue and red tokens, no more flimsy stamps to tear out-or not tear out-for meats, too precious to buy. We can buy as much porterhouse and bourbon and powdered sugar as our purses will allow-given the rise of almost one hundred percent in the cost of such gastronomical amenities. We need not worry, temporarily at least, about blackouts and bare cupboards. while at the same time we try not to think, even superficially, about what and when and how and where to nourish survivors of the next kind of bomb. Thus stated, the case for Peace is feeble." An extremely good copy, rarely encountered.
