About the Book
The Queen Gift Book. In Aid of Queen Mary’s Convalescent Auxiliary Hospitals (1915) is a rare and beautifully preserved First Edition published by Hodder & Stoughton, London. Bound in elegant blue cloth with blue titles and the Royal Emblem, this near fine copy features 12 stunning full-colour plates created by renowned artists of the time, including Arthur Rackham, W. Heath Robinson, and E. Blampied.
The 160 pages contain a remarkable collection of illustrated stories, poems, and writings from some of the most celebrated authors of the early 20th century, including Arthur Conan Doyle, J. M. Barrie, John Buchan, and Ernest Thompson Seton. The book was specially produced to raise funds for Queen Mary’s Convalescent Auxiliary Hospitals, established to support soldiers and sailors who had lost their limbs during World War I.
This historically significant volume stands not only as a fine literary and artistic treasure but also as a moving reminder of wartime philanthropy and the role of literature and art in supporting recovery and rehabilitation. A collector’s item in near fine condition.
