Lewis (C. S., 1898-1963). Miracles. A Preliminary Study, London: Geoffrey Bles, 1947. 8vo, original cloth, dust jacket (marked, head of spine-panel nicked and frayed), pencilled marginalia throughout, section of flocking to p. 127 (text affected but remaining legible) (qty: 1) First edition, the dedication copy, inscribed by Lewis 'with all love from C. S. L.' on the dedication page, and with the ownership inscription of the recipient and co-dedicatee Cecil Harwood, 'Harwood (Ex dono auctoris)', to the front free endpaper, the other dedicatee being Harwood's wife, Daphne. (Albert) Cecil Harwood (1898-1975) met Lewis at Oxford in Hilary term of 1919. The two became lifelong friends, and while Cecil is not typically reckoned among the usual roll-call of Inklings members, he remained very much part of Lewis's circle, and is perhaps best remembered as a leading advocate of anthroposophy and the Steiner-Waldorf teaching method. Provenance: Laurence Harwood OBE (1933-2020), regional director, National Trust, son of Cecil Harwood, and godson of C. S. Lewis, noted as 'one of the few remaining people who really knew C. S. Lewis' (Deborah Higgens, 'A Personal Tribute to Laurence Harwood, OBE', C. S. Lewis Foundation official blog, 14 December 2020, accessed 24 May 2021). Further reading: Laurence Harwood, C. S.
