Ethel Turner Birthday Book. A selection of passages from the books of Ethel Turner (Mrs. H.R. Curlewis). Arranged by L.T.T. With a Foreword by Coulson Kernahan.

This is a rare book from the Berkelouw Rare Books Department.

London: Ward, Lock & Co., 1909. 12mo. Orig. qtr. cloth with gilt title to front cover. With portrait photo of the author by H. Ashby & Co. Sydney, and 7 full-page plates from different Ethel Turner books. First and only edition. Muir 7585. Includes some contemp. names entered in the designated birthday date. The text, listing an entry for each day of the year with a quote from her extensive writings, is printed within a red lined border. A particularly fine copy. NOTE: "The Birthday Book" and possibly "The Tiny House" published in 1911, are arguably Turner's most obscure and scarcest titles, with the work here listed not seen or offered for sale at auction in Australia since records were kept from 1969 onwards.
