RARE ROYAL MEMORABILIA: ASSOCIATION COPY WITH UNIQUE HISTORICAL PROVENANCE** Up for sale is a highly collectible, authentic hand-signed copy of *Tea for Ruby* written by Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York, and beautifully illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser. While standard signed copies of this book appear on the market, this specific volume is a rare **Association Copy** possessing exceptional modern royal provenance. ### **THE PROVENANCE & HISTORICAL CONTEXT** The book features a personalized inscription written in the Duchess's signature pink ink: **"To Ms. O'Sullivan"** and is explicitly dated **2009**. "Ms. O'Sullivan" is a direct family member of **Johnny O'Sullivan**, the Duchess of York's long-serving personal assistant and confidant. Their close 18-year professional relationship and its subsequent conclusion became the subject of intense international news coverage. Because this inscription is dated 2009—the exact period leading up to the public wind-down of the Duchess's company (Hartmoor) and their highly publicized separation—this book stands as a physical artifact from a significant era in the Duchess's modern public life. It holds immense cross-over appeal for collectors of children's literature, autograph investors, and royal history enthusiasts. ### **ITEM CONDITION & DETAILS** * **Edition:** First Edition, First Printing (Confirmed by the full number line on the copyright page). * **Binding & Text:** Hardcover with original dust jacket.
