Princess Mary's Gift Book
Hardcover. Fair condition.
Princess Mary’s Gift Book is a beautifully illustrated wartime anthology produced in 1914 to raise funds for the Princess Mary Christmas Gift Fund, which supplied comforts to British troops during the First World War. Featuring contributions from some of the era’s most celebrated writers and artists—including J.M. Barrie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling, and H.H. Munro (Saki)—the collection offers short stories, poems, and artworks that range from whimsical and sentimental to patriotic and reflective. Together, these pieces capture the spirit, anxieties, and hopes of a nation at war, while the book itself stands as a cherished historical keepsake symbolizing solidarity and compassion on the home front.
