“Deliciously frightened“ who talks like that?! I love it!❤
A man with great zest.
Anne of Green Gables!
Hopefully someone like ME Who loves Arthur Rackham and any of these other Great Classic Illustrators.
zest
Precious things with even more precious memories. Please consider showing off the book again when restored. Bless both you and your bride
There are so many barbarians out there who would toss that book and sell the plates individually on eBay. It's nice to see someone restoring one.
Great to see you again, Malcolm. You enrich my life with your vivacious love for the word.
Oh I do enjoy Rackham....thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for watching!
I had the great pleasure of seeing the Rackham originals when working at the Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
Congratulations to your lady wife. May God grant her many years.
And what great treasures your sister has brought you! May you have every joy of them.
Thank you kindly
Utterly enthralling, thank you! Reminds me of a glorious edition of The Jungle Book l was given as child by my uncle which filled my mind with adventure for decades.
I grew up with Rackham's illustrations, in the 60s. Very much inspiration for my own art. You might also like Sidney Sime's work for Lord Dunsany, published in his books around the same time.
Wow on the embroidery of the book of Kells. I just got back from Trinity College and I’m working on a piece based on the book of Kells so very much enjoyed the viewing of the original tiny little book. Coming to you from Greensboro Vermont!
Beautiful. Rackham has always enthralled me as well. Thank you for taking us into that cherished book and what it means to you. cheers
Wonderful absolutely wonderful😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and memories this book evoked in your early life, and its links to your parents, the fact your edition was printed in 1914 also rekindled memories for me, as this was the year of my father's birth, which also egnited emotions of times passed for myself. 🙏 God Bless, Steve.
Good evening Malcolm, and thank you for sharing the wonderful Rackham illustrations. I am quite pleased that you will find a bookbinder to restore this beautiful tome. It seems the right illustrations influence our literary perceptions for life. When I was a boy my grandfather gifted me with a volume of "Arabian Nights" with illustrations by Maxfield Parrish which I still treasure, and my grown daughter still pages through her copy of Kipling's "Just So Stories" with the author's original drawings. Now time to finish my porter. Wishing you peace and a well-deserved rest!
Rackham is always my first stop when looking for things to pair with ballads, what a fabulous treasure to grow up with! Thankyou for sharing Malcolm.
thanks. I love the way you use old prints to illustrate some of your songs
Always enjoyable Dr.
Thank you, Malcolm Guite!
I strive to be like this man when I grow up
It was great getting to be with you at Nashotah Father! Thankful for what you taught us last week! Prayers for you and your wife on her christening day!
thanks
Thanks for showing us!!!❤❤❤
Am reading your book on The Mariner by Coleridge...loving every minute of this and have only just started reading it...thanks and blessing and thought to you Malcolm your dear wife and family...thanks for sharing so much knowledge...❤🙏
Hope you enjoy it!
Excellent and welcome back and prayers on your wife’s anniversary of her Christening 🙏thanks
If we grew up with books, certain pictures may have made an uncanny impression on us. I've written an essay about this, "Pictures and an Inner Vision." Among the ones that -- as I approach my 70th birthday -- I remember were some drawings in the 1960 Viking Press edition of Norwegian Folk Tales, illustrated by Kittelsen and Werenskiold (stories from the collection of Asbjornsen and Moe). Tolkien remembered that, as a boy, he desired dragons with a fierce desire. I desired trolls. Then there was a Golden book on dinosaurs with illustrations derived from the Zallinger mural at the Peabody Museum. It wasn't just the mighty reptiles that fascinated me but the vistas of steep mountains. The last I'll mention in this comment is the endpaper design by Alex Schaumburg for the Winston science fiction juveniles. I took to all these things without coaxing!
Can really see young Malcolm as Puck!
Excellent memories Malcolm. Thanks so much for the content.
Glad you enjoyed it
I just read Midsummer Night's Dream for the first time tonight, and loved it. It also greatly enriched the opening of Puck of Pook's hill for me, understanding the context of the play the children were acting out. It also underscores the beautiful mastery with which Kipling wove together subtle references, history and his own sense of fancy into a marvelous fantasy.
Having never had the pleasure of being exposed to these amazing books, you have introduced me to another world. Thank you.
Have you seen Frank Beard's illustrations? He is known for his work Fifty Great Cartoons and the second edition of The Bible Looking Glass.
What a gem!
Reading There and Back by George MacDonald at the moment, so of course you reminded us of Richard Lestrange/Tuke and his beautiful passion for sensitive restoration rather than the cheaper replacement of a precious book's exquisite binding. Best wishes in your endeavour and also our thanks to you both. We appreciate what you give in these delightful virtual visits. Thank you very much.
yes, I allude to that passage in the epilogue to my book on Coleridge
Thank you ❤
Beautiful pipe , from the west coast of the States 😊 Good book 📚 love those pics with the discription 😊❤ Thanks for sharing and Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Wonderful keepsakes! Thank you for sharing them with us, Dr. Guite.

I see you went to Uhle tobacco company. I was just there last night myself. I got a wonderful pipe tobacco called “old shoe”. I hope you enjoy your tobacco, and I hope you found Wisconsin worth while.
Love this. Good to see you again Malcolm:)
Once again I say your voice is a very nice mix of James Mason and Orson Welles.very nice.
Funny. I reside less than fifty miles away from Nashotah and never knew they had a seminary until this video.
I really enjoy your videos Malcolm and your musings, very interesting to hear Tolkien was taken by Rackham’s illustrations too as a young boy. I love Rackham’s work, he’s a real master of the craft, he has some nice work in the James Stephen’s collection of Irish Fairytales. You make me want to smoke a pipe too, I have my Dad’s old pipe, I must spark it up now one of the days, have you a good tobacco you’d recommend?
any black cavendish is a good one to start with
Hello Malcolm, I wrote this following poem this in regards to the titanic submersible missing. I hope this finds you and you like it
It is like a nightmare dream
Of news of the lost submarine.
All hands lost, so it would seem.
I hear they were at the wreck,
Exploring Titanic’s forward deck.
I can’t imagine dying in such a way,
Becoming the ocean’s doomed prey
With my body lying in its clay.
May they find what’s left of them
Down there, so cold, dark, and dim.
The wreck again has staked its claim,
On more innocent souls, what a shame.
But we shall know they’re very names.
As for their souls, pray they find peace 
And into Heaven’s glory, they are released.

I wish I would have known you were at Nashota. I live about 20 miles from there and I would have loved to have heard you speak. When will you ever get back to Wisconsin? I hope soon.
Bout time! I was about to book a flight… 💨💨💨
What number is that pipe, 302?
yes 302
@Malcolm Guite Are you familiar with the wonderful illustrations and stained glass works of Harry Clarke? If you like Rackham, you'll definitely enjoy Clarke.
i'll check it out
@@MalcolmGuitespell Let me know what you think.
I imagine you won’t read this - but if you or anyone else does l, please would you recommend such a classical bookbinder to me Mr Guite?
I must find a good one in England.
I'm going to try and track down the one my college used to use, but I dont remember his name
@@MalcolmGuitespell Malcolm - as an admirer, please try!
If you remember, that is, as I’m sure you have a lot going on - (… plus, I’ve seen the merry old state of your desk!!).
Thanks for so much else, regardless.
