V.p. 1944-1996. All first editions unless noted; all 8vo or 12mo, unless noted. All dust jackets present unless noted. Condition ranges from good to fine. Marya was not a book collector. She was the youngest child of a popular novelist and the books show the casual wear and tear of a childhood gathering. Marya Manfred (1949-2022) grew up and attended elementary school in Bloomington, Minnesota. With her parents she moved to Luverne at age 10, and graduated from Luverne High School on 1967. She later moved to Colorado for a year to study singing, music composition, and piano performance. She then finished her bachelor's degree, majoring in Art, at the University of Minnesota. She later worked for the Consumer Survivor Network at Marshall before becoming a Certified Peer Specialist at Southwestern Mental Health Center in Worthington and Luverne, where she taught art therapy. Marya is survived by her sister, the poet Freya Manfred, and her husband, the screenwriter Thomas Pope, both of Stillwater, Minnesota, and two nephews, Nicholas Bly Pope and Ethan Rowan Pope, both of the Twin Cities. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her brother, Frederick Manfred, Jr. 1. Mulder, Rodney J., & John H. Timmerman. Frederick Manfred: A bibliography and Publishing History.
