Thread Name: Songbooks: Missing C. Fox Smith Books?
Subject: RE: Songbooks: Missing C. Fox Smith Books?
Don-
I certainly would be grateful. I believe there are several copies in the British Library system. It took me a week to get my hands on a copy via the British Library in London but I also needed to copy four other poetry books as higher priority and ran out of time. Probably all you need to search for is the title PEREGRINE IN LOVE by Cicely Fox Smith, or C. Fox Smith, or sometimes C. Fox-Smith, published by HODDER AND STOUGHTON, London, 1920. Officially I was not supposed to copy more than 20-30 pages from any one book but no one seemed to care that I was spending an inordinate amount of time copying those 20 pages. As I mentioned above I do have copies of pages 9-42 but how does the story end? Does the young handsome ship's officier Peregrine Ransome ever admit his love to the intriguing young lady from England, engaged to another man, or does he sail off alone into the sunset, broken hearted?
