BENJAMIN BRITTEN - A Life In The Twentieth Century

Allen Lane London, 2013 Unread first hardback printing with Benjamin Britten's autographed note loose laid. This biography has been highly praised and it will surely remain the benchmark in Britten studies. Issued during the Britten Centenary year, it is copiously illustrated. Enclosed is an extremely rare note on a headed notecard featuring the Britten address, The Red House, Aldeburgh, Suffolk. It has an opening in BB's writing which reads 'Dear Miss Collis,' followed by a typed message "Thank you very much indeed for your good wishes for my birthday" and then a further handwritten addition which says 'and the most interesting Clodd-Crabbe which I'm sorry to say I didn't know. I look forward to reading it. Yours sincerely, Benjamin Britten' - which makes this a unique copy of this book.
