Pelican Books: A Sixtieth Anniversary Celebration
Miscellany 12 is an original publication containing mainly commissioned articles from authors and academics concerned with the Pelican series. As Russell Edwards points out in his Introduction, ‘the Sixtieth Anniversary of the launch of an incalculably significant series seems to be fated to have no "official" recognition, and indeed the very name of the series has been consigned to the history books’. This Miscellany goes, in a small way, towards redressing the balance. In addition to the ‘Introduction’, the contents are as follows:
‘Penguins and Pelicans’ by Allen Lane
‘Founder's Fate’ by Russell Edwards
‘H.L. Beales’ by W.E. Williams
‘W.E. Williams’ by H.L. Beales
‘Learning about Penguins and Pelicans’ by Asa Briggs
‘Bill Williams and The Penguin Guide to English Literature’ by Boris Ford
‘A Penguin Parade’ by Richard Hoggart
‘The Penguin Histories’ by J.E. Morpurgo
‘Designs on Pelican’ by Gerald Cinamon
‘The Greeks’ by Steve Hare
‘Broad Church’ by Russell Edwards
‘Auguries of Innocence’ by Steve Hare
Perfect bound with 8 black and white and 10 colour illustrations
