RACKHAM, ARTHUR, Illus. Autograph letter signed to Frederick Mason, Limpsfield [Surrey], 28 December 1933. 2 pages, 4to, slight browning along folds, with envelope. ...THE MIDSUMMER NIGHTS' DREAM IS ABOUT AS GOOD A BOOK AS I HAVE DONE. A long note to Mason, an enthusiastic Rackham collector, discussing his favorite projects and his early work, "...I am not quite sure which was the first book with my illustrations...But I think the first done as a book was Anthony Hope's 'Dolly Dialogues'. Now rare & quite costly when found. Pounds & pounds in fact. ABSURD. It was about 1896...".
