KETTON-CREMER FELBRIGG HALL., Printed wrappers, 8vo, 97 pp. From the Preface: "Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer (1906-1969) was the leading Norfolk historian of his generation, an eighteenth century scholar and biographer, a reviewer and critic. He was also the squire of Felbrigg Hall and, as John Hayward wrote in 1944, he carried on "with distinction the honourable but decaying tradition of the English country- gentleman -of - letters. His biographies of Horace Walpole and of Thomas Gray combine both sympathy with their subjects and command of their subject matter to give rounded, authoritative portraits that have remained standard lives since their publication. The books on Norfolk use original materials to throw light on local issues and personalities creating a fabric of far more than local interest, and in Felbrigg, his history of his own house, he produced an acknowledged minor classic This catalogue was prepared while researching Ketton-Cremer’s papers at Felbrigg for a bibliography of his works. Its primary purpose was to provide a reference system to enable items, once found, to be recovered from the mass of boxes, folders and manuscripts. It is, therefore, strictly a summary catalogue and no attempt is made to itemise all the contents of the folders of correspondence listed here in section 5." Very Good.<
