The Book of Life (1960) C. H. B. Kitchin, Francis King Valancourt Books, 2021

Set in the twilight of the Edwardian era, this is the story of Francis Froxwell, a young orphan fascinated by his grandfather's 'Book of Life', a ledger that lists the immense wealth he and his relatives will inherit when the old man dies. Unhappy at boarding school and treated coldly by his relations, Francis finds solace in the thought of his future fortune and a possible baronetcy. Francis's only friends are his uncle Demetrius, whose affair with a divorcée has made him the black sheep of the family, and Jimmy Waring, a disgraced ex-schoolmaster and the brother of Demetrius's mistress. As Francis finds himself unwittingly caught up in the intrigues of these two men, a chain of events is set in motion leading to sex, scandal, blackmail, and death . . . and the elimination of at least one name from the 'Book of Life'. An unjustly neglected novelist, C.H.B. Kitchin (1895-1967) was best known for his early mystery novels and was frustrated later in life when he continued to...

"A writer who deserves to be admired and cherished."-Francis King "[O]ne of the most original novelists of his generation. His delicate, witty prose ably evokes the atmosphere of south London in which the story is set."-British Book News "[I]ntriguing . . . Short, firmly written, and agreeably unpretentious."-The GuardianFrancis Norton is an elderly bachelor who enjoys nothing better than spending a warm day outside in one of London's parks. When one afternoon he innocently overhears the earnest conversation of two young lovers, Edward and Mirrie, whose relationship is complicated by Edward's unhappy marriage to a drunken wife, Francis decides to interfere in an attempt to help the pair. But despite his good intentions, his matchmaking efforts have unexpected consequences, and he soon finds himself caught up in a complicated triangle involving blackmail, a mysterious death, and courtroom intrigue. Will Francis's well-meaning manipulations lead to a happy ending for his two young friends, or will his meddling end in tragedy and disaster? Found among C.H.B. Kitchin's papers after his death, A Short Walk in Williams Park was published posthumously in 1971. As L.P. Hartley writes in his Foreword, this short novel has the same distinction of style as Kitchin's other acclaimed works and displays many of its author's finest qualities. Republished here for the first time, Kitchin's final book joins his Ten Pollitt Place (1957) and The Book of Life (1960), both also recently reprinted by Valancourt.

The Sensitive One (1931) C.H.B. Kitchin With a new introduction by David Robinson Remind yourself twenty times a day, how you, an intelligent and attractive woman of thirty-six, are squandering your life in an uncomfortable house, full of selfish half-wits, deprived of friends, all reasonable interests, and even reasonable affection. Make plans for your own future, and be hard. This is Hector Moxhays advice to his sister, Margaret, whose guilt over a cruel act she committed years ago keeps her shackled to her despotic father and mentally disturbed sister. But when old Mr. Moxhays grandson John is expelled from school over a homosexual scandal, a chain of events is set in motion that will lead to unexpected consequences for the family and a possible means of escape for Margaret. Will she continue to sacrifice herself to her fathers tyranny and her sisters mental illness? Or will she have the strength to break free and make a bid for her own happiness? Featuring many of the same qualities and themes that would distinguish his later masterpieces, C.H.B. Kitchins The Sensitive One (1931) was originally published to critical acclaim by Leonard and Virginia Woolfs Hogarth Press and counted L. P. Hartley and Lytton Strachey among its many admirers. This first-ever republication of the novel includes a new introduction by David Robinson discussing the queer subtexts of this unusual novel. Mr. Kitchin has achieved a very considerable feat . . . written with amazing economy . . . in short, it is a work of art. Spectator A writer who deserves to be admired and cherished. Francis King Mr. Kitchin is one of the cleverest, most intellectual, and most challenging of our novelists, and he has the rare merit of giving these qualities the flavour of a personality: they humanise and refresh his story instead of drying it up.

The auction sale (The landmark library) [by] C. H. B. Kitchin; with an introduction by Lord David Cecil London, Chatto and Windus, The landmark library,, no. 29, London, England, 1971

The Auction Sale relates a sensitive and subtle evocation of country life in the late 1930s. The friendship between Alice Elton and Mrs. Durrant, the latter's sad love affair and the appreciation of fleeting beauty pervade. Such melancholy themes are set in contrast to the auction sale, which Kitchin brings to life through incisive and humorous depiction. First published in 1949, Lord David Cecil described the novel as 'an admirably shaped, delicately finished work of art, reflecting a deeply interesting vision of human life.'

'There is quite a Bloomsbury set, is there not?' 'There is,' said Miss Clame, 'but we're not in it. We're just the tiniest bit west, both spiritually and geographically.' Miss Clame certainly never concealed her limited income nor that she lives with two spinsters, Mavina Trelawny, who nearly climbed Mont Blanc, and Godiva Smith, who coloured pottery, but these were undoubtedly factors preventing her freely declaring her love for Geoffrey Remington. In this elegant, beautifully written novel, C. H. B. Kitchin explores with wit and compassion the frustrations of genteel poverty.

Malcolm Warren, a young but valetudinarian stockbroker, is looking forward to a dull weekend when a telegram summons him to stay with his capricious old Aunt Catherine, who has shocked the family by marrying Hannibal Cartwright, a muscular garage owner many years her junior. Gleeful at the prospect of profit, Malcolm hurries to her bedside. But when his aunt resorts to her bottle labelled 'Le Secret de Venus' he finds that, instead of a gilt-edged portfolio, he is landed with a file of family skeletons. The resulting saga is retailed with a dry humour that reads as well now as it did on first publication in 1929. 'Kitchin's knowledge of the crevices of human nature lifts his crime fiction out of the category of puzzledom and into the realm of the detective novel. He was, in short, ahead of his day.' H. R. F. Keating

Mr. [Mister] Balcony C.H.B. Kitchin; new introduction by Francis King London: Hogarth Press, Hogarth fiction, London, 1989

C. H. B Kitchin brilliantly and bizarrely links the worlds of E. F. Benson and Evelyn Waugh in the story of Mr Balcony. Bored with the London summer, this enigmatic man fills his yacht with assorted socialites, chief among them the beautiful, restless Gloria Swing, and heads for the torrid coast of Africa, where fate, they discover can certainly prove worse than death. Beneath a sparkling surface lurk dark sexual ambiguities. Extremely funny, but as suspenseful as a thriller, Mr Balcony steers through the tropics to a climax whose strangeness defies all expectation.

Death of My Aunt C.H.B. (Clifford Henry Benn) Kitchin Distributed Proofreaders Canada, 1936

.......Until half-past six, the fifteenth of June was much the same as many other Fridays. Business was slack, and my work did not fill the hours which I had to spend in the office. At six o’clock I took my grimy hat from its peg, and after the innumerable “good-nights” which commercial etiquette seems to demand walked down Throgmorton Street without enthusiasm on my way to the tube. A few dispirited jobbers still lingered in the “street.” The afternoon was wet, and rather cold. In the train, I looked languidly at the evening paper. The financial pages were dull, and the others were full of heroic achievements, such as Atlantic flights, Channel swims, and rescues from fire—deeds which I knew I could never emulate. I had, indeed, little to look forward to during the week-end. That evening I was to dine in my rooms, after which I was to meet a friend and go with him to the cinema. I had volunteered to go to the office on Saturday morning to help with the books. Beyond this, I had no plans till Sunday afternoon, for which I had invited myself to some friends at Chislehurst.

A History of England, Principally in the Seventeenth Century. [Translated from the German by C.W. Boase, W.W. Jackson, H.B. George, H.F. Pelham, M. Creighton, A. Watson, G.W. Kitchin and A. Plummer. Edited by C.W. Boase and G.W. Kitchin.] Leopold von Ranke publisher not identified, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge Library Collection - British & Irish History, 17th & 18th Centuries, Place of publication not identified, Cambridge, 2010

German historian Leopold von Ranke (1795–1886) is well known for pioneering the modern historical method which advocates empiricism, rather than a focus on the philosophy of history. Emphasizing the importance of presenting history exactly as it happened, Ranke asserted that different eras need to be understood in their own contexts rather than in relation to each other: history should not be regarded as one long, teleological narrative. These principles of writing history, established in earlier publications, are all evident here. Originally published in eight volumes between 1859 and 1869, Ranke's history, 'principally in the seventeenth century', was first published as a six-volume history in English by the Clarendon Press in 1875, the mammoth task of its translation distributed among eight Oxford dons. Volume 4 covers the last years of Charles II, the establishment of the Whig and Tory parties, and the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
