FITZGERALD
(Penelope Mary, 1916-2000, Booker Prize Winning Novelist, Poet, Essayist and Biographer)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed 'Penelope' to Josephine PULLEIN-THOMPSON
(1924-2014, Writer best known for her Pony Books) thanking her for her book which she “took down to Theale this past weekend & left it with Tina & she almost wept, it brought back her pony-owning days so intensely, (but after all she might have one again - there’s a kind of stable at the back of the garden, not belonging to us, but just being used for hens & for fattening calves, & I daresay in time we could get hold of that). If you should have another copy to spare & would sign it for her, she’d love it... It’s hard to put in words the connection between the book, the child & the pony, or the imagined pony I suppose in so many cases. I’ve got the ticket for the PEN outing too & look forward to it. I wonder how much is still there at Knole? - there seemed to be some sort of arrangement by which the Sackville-Wests were allowed to withdraw pictures & items of silver-plated furniture &c, & sell them, so that blanks appeared on the walls & in the rooms, & things had to be hastily re-arranged - but there’s always plenty left I suppose. I’ve never seen the Woolfs house at Rodmell but always wanted to...”, 2 sides 4to., 76 Clifton Hill, London, 6th April
