Autograph Note Signed.
This popular and prolific English novelist is best known for children's books ranging from "A Very Simple Story" (1866) to "Behind the Scenes in a Schoolroom" (1914). ANS, 1p, 4½" X 7", n.p., 1902 December 20. Addressed to "Sir." Very good. Mild bit of age toning. On pale green letterhead, Montgomery graciously informs an admirer "I have much pleasure in sending you the autograph you ask me for...." Accomplished boldly in black ink in a fair hand as flowery as her fiction. From the collection of University of Chicago geology professor Albert Johannsen (1871-1962), author of "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" (1950), the definitive reference work and bibliography on the subject. Johannsen's original 8½" X 11" file folder, bearing his printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label (partly filled in by Johannsen), accompanies this item. Item #26890
