[Charles Agvent]

KELLER, Helen. WE BEREAVED. New York: Leslie Fulenwider, (1929). First 
Edition. Duodecimo (4-1/4" x 6-3/4") in original blind-stamped black 
cloth; viii, 39 pages. Housed in a custom 1/4 green morocco leather and 
cloth slipcase with a gilt-decorated and lettered spine, and a cloth 
chemise. One of Keller's scarcest books, this copy even more so as it is 
INSCRIBED and SIGNED in pencil on the front endpaper by Keller to her 
brother Phillips Brooks Keller: "To Phillips/with affection/From/Sister 
Helen/February 5th 1940." Fine in chemise and a Near Fine slipcase with 
minor wear.

Helen Keller was 11 when her brother Phillips was born in 1891. When she 
heard about his birth, Keller and "Teacher" (Anne Sullivan) were in 
Boston in school, and she sent back word to her family in Dallas that 
she wanted her brother named after her good, and as it turned out, 
lifelong friend, Bishop Phillips Brooks, the rector of Christs Church in 
Boston and the author of the Christmas song "O Little Town of 
Bethlehem." (#018942)        $3,500
