Rare lot of signed items from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor related to their beloved pet pug, Minarou. Edward VIII and Wallis would ultimately own several pugs over the course of their lives, and Wallis proudly displayed pug paraphernalia in their home. Lot includes: (1) ''The Pug'' book signed by the Royal Couple, with the inscription by Wallis to their pug breeders: ''To Major and Mrs. Feuerhan with apologies from Minarou / Wallis Duchess of Windsor / Edward Duke of Windsor''. (2) Christmas card inscribed by Wallis: ''Let me know when the kennel is open we must have a Smudge Pot [one of the puppies] / Merry Christmas / Happy New Year / to you both and the glam Ms Smudge Pot / The Duke and Duchess of Windsor''. (3-7) Collection of unsigned letters from the Royal Couple, most regarding the pugs and even agreeing to a ''marriage'' between their pug and one owned by the Feuerhans. (8-9) Two books regarding the life of Wallis Simpson, ''The Heart Has Its Reasons'' and ''Her Name Was Wallis Warfield''. (10) Newspaper clippings related to the Royal Couple's dogs. All items are very good to near fine. An unusual collection regarding Wallis' well-known love of dogs and her pugs.
