About This Item
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1994. Hardcover. Fine. pp542 Fine in white buckram over green boards, in a fine dust jacket. Bookplate of Frederick Baldwin Adams Jr along with his inscription "The Christmas gift of Francesco and Vittorio Cottafavi" (Italian screenwriter and film director). Laid in: affectionate letter from author Joan Paterson Kerr in which she discusses research for her forthcoming book about President Theodore Roosevelt's letters to his children. A fascinating volume with excellent associations. Extra postage charges may apply as this is a heavy volume. This book comes from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt collection of Frederick Baldwin Adams Jr, 1910 - 2001, the son of Ellen Walters Delano who was a first cousin to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Adams became a passionate bibliophile who served as director of the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City for two decades and compiled a significant personal collection relating to F.D.R.. In 1969 he married his third wife who was a Swedish princess and with whom he shared the final years of his life in France. Adams' move to France explains the presence of his books in the United Kingdom. Fine 1994
