  Kaye, Barbara THE COMPANY WE KEPT.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 1995 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. x, 224 pages and 18 illustrations.
Reprint of the first edition. In 1938, after three years of sharing a house in London with a moody, elderly Russian who translated Chekhov, Barbara Kaye and her husband, Percy Muir, move to a Tudor cottage in northwest Essex, in joyful anticipation of having a home to themselves at last. As she handles a young daughter, domestic crises, a garden, chickens and writes novels - Percy commutes to London to carry on his antiquarian book business at Elkin Mathews in Duke Street. Eighteen months later, on the eve of war, the business and staff join the exodus of evacuees from London to room with the Muirs, along with parents and dog, in their draughty and already over-crowded cottage. In this entertaining and very personal sequel to Percy Muir's MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, Barbara Kaye describes the struggle to keep the firm of Elkin Mathews going while, as they host an egotistical author engaged on a book on women, an eccentric poet, the creator of James Bond and other friends who come for temporary refuge from the Blitz. Writers and artists living in northwest Essex at the time come into story, amongst them A.J.A. Symons, Marjorie Allingham and A.E. Coppard. The book also gives a vivid picture of war-time life in a village where American Forces were stationed.

  Kaye, Barbara (Mrs. Percy Muir) SECOND IMPRESSION, RURAL LIFE WITH A RARE BOOKMAN
New Castle, Delaware & London, England Oak Knoll Press & Werner Shaw (1995) 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. x, 350 pages.
First edition. In The Company We Kept Barbara Kaye told the story of how the old established antiquarian book firm of Elkin Mathews survived the war years after evacuation to rural Essex in 1939. Now she carries on the story from 1945 to 1955, when Elkin Mathews expanded and her bibliophile husband, Percy Muir, became increasingly involved in the national and international politics of the antiquarian book trade. It was during this time that the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) was formed and the description of Percy Muir's part in this process provides a fascinating account of an historic event. Percy Muir became president of the ILAB in 1950 and on his retirement from office he was unanimously elected Life President of Honor. The Muirs' commitment to the ILAB meant they were often traveling to Europe to attend the annual conferences, which they combined with book-buying trips and sometimes even family holidays. The towns and cities they visited were just under reconstruction and the author describes the devastation and destruction caused by the war. At home the village where the Muirs lived was also changing, and the author gives a clear picture of daily life in a typical English village during the post-war decade. There are also several interesting accounts of the local and national political scenes. In 1951, the Muirs visited the United States for a lecture tour. The account of their four-week whirlwind tour is filled with bibliophilic adventures - from meeting Dr. Rosenbach and Fredson Bowers to dinner at the Four Oaks Farm Library and a visit to the Library of Congress. The book ends with a factual description of Percy Muir's long-fought campaign against book auction rings, culminating in the final show-down in 1956. Well-written by an accomplished novelist, this book provides a lively and entertaining account of the antiquarian book world and English village life in the post-war years.
