In addition, there is a warm ink inscription on the front free endpaper: "Dear Kay Graham / It is a long time since / Robert Hutchin's Round / Table -- but perhaps / you will remember a / "special" visitor. / With all good wishes / [signed] Nancy Wilson Ross / Old Westbury / Long Island / October 12, 1966." The recipient was Katharine Graham [1917-2001], Publisher, and later, Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Washington Post Company. It is worth noting that her mother, Agnes Meyer, was a noted private scholar and collector of Chinese and Asian art. The author, Nancy Wilson, was born in Olympia, Washington, on November 22, 1901. She graduated from the University of Oregon in 1924, and married Charles W. Ross of Auburn, New York, three years later. They studied at the Bauhaus in Germany 1931-33, then returned to live in New York City for four years. From 1938 to 1942 they lived on Hood Canal in Washington State. Her second marriage was to publisher and playwright Stanley Young in 1942. They made their home on the Whitney estate 'Applegreen,' Old Westbury, Long Island. As Nancy Wilson, her first published novel was Friday to Monday (1932). Her first magazine story had appeared in 1924. She published five novels of contemporary life and culture under the name of Nancy Wilson Ross. The novels include Take the Lightning (1940), The Left Hand Is the Dreamer (1947), I, My Ancestor (1950), Time's Corner (1952), and The Return of Lady Brace (1957). Culminating years of interest in Asian religion and art, her last three books introduced Buddhism to Western readers: The World of Zen: an East-West Anthology (1960), Three Ways of Asian Wisdom (1966), and Buddhism, a Way of Life and Thought (1980).; Signed by Author
